Associated Names
Jackson Pollock

Artist, American, 1912 - 1956

The image contains a series of bold black lines and shapes that intertwine, intersect, and overlap across the canvas. The abstract composition evokes a tangled web or flowing streams. Some forms resemble splattered ink blots, coiled ropes, or abstracted figures, adding movement to the piece. The lack of clear, defined figures emphasizes its abstract nature.
