Untitled is an original artwork realized by Jackson Pollock in 1951. It is one image in a rare collection of six screenprints. The first edition was issued in 25 numbered and signed impressions; the second edition was issued in 50 numbered impressions in 1964. This example is from the second edition of 50 prints, numbered in pencil on the lower right margin and with the "Estate of J. Pollock 1964" embossed stamp and "Strathmore" watermark. Very rare and one of the only available impressions on the market.
The artwork is one of the most interesting and emblematic paintings of the artist. In the 1940s, Pollock invented his signature "drip painting". After 1951, Pollock's artworks became darker in color; they belong to a collection painted in black on white or unprimed canvases. These works have been referred to as his "Black Pourings"; he exhibited them at the Betty Parsons Gallery in NYC, but none of them was sold. Today these artworks are considered the most interesting exemplars of Pollock's gestural paintings. The abstract compositions in Pollock’s serigraphs (he made only 11 graphic works) demonstrate his capacity of absorbing parts of art history and reinventing them through a language that allows him to overtake the European figurative tradition. Yet, in moving forward Pollock never leaves anything behind, as confirmed by his colleague and companion Lee Krasner, to whom Pollock confided that he could not stop himself during the creative process, even when some forms began appearing in the painting, because his purpose was in fact to delete any figure.
Paul Jackson Pollock (Cody, 1912 – Long Island, 1956) has been one of the most important artists of the XX century. He was the leading force behind the “School of New York” and Abstract Expressionism. During his life, thanks to the professional relationship with Peggy Guggenheim, Pollock gained considerable fame and notoriety. His greatness lies in the development of a radical totally abstract style in the history of contemporary art. He absolutely redefined the painting and drawing techniques, and found new means to describe space. Pollock grew up in California, where he experienced the native American culture. In 1929, he studied at the Students’ League in New York City and worked in the Regionalist style. In the first years of his career, he was influenced also by Mexican muralist painters such as Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, as well as by some Surrealist artworks realized by Joan Miró and Max Ernst. During an important art exhibition held in 1939 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, he saw for the first time artworks by Pablo Picasso, including the famous “Guernica” of 1937. Through this exhibition, he understood the importance and the expressive power of European Modernism. He began realizing compositions with semi-abstract and totemic figures, with ritualistic and obsessive reworking. After his premature death in 1957 in Long Island, Jackson Pollock became one of the most important artists in the world.
“Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is." - Jackson Pollock.

Presentation
Jackson Pollock is one of the most iconic figures of twentieth-century American art. His techniques influenced an entire school of artists who were then part of the abstract expressionism movement.
Born in 1912 in Wyoming, Pollock grew up in California and Arizona. He was influenced by Navajo ritual dances and sandpainting, which he had observed in Indian reservations in Arizona. Pollock's older brother, Charles, a student at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, gave him a taste for the arts! So much so that Pollock enrolled at Manual Arts High School in 1927. Three years later, the brothers moved to New York together, where Charles introduced Pollock to the work of Mexican muralists such as José Clemente Orozco, David Siqueiros, and Diego Rivera. Pollock also discovered cubism and surrealism. He admired the great European painters such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and André Masson. Pollock's European influences inspired him to explore mythological themes.
Unfortunately, Pollock's alcohol addiction forced him to seek treatment. There, he was encouraged to use drawing as a form of therapy. Drawing was a method that helped Pollock understand himself and to materialize abstract thoughts like humanity's deepest fears.
Like many surrealists, Pollock practiced automatic writing and tackled much more sizeable formats. In 1943, he met Peggy Guggenheim, who helped him exhibit his work in a gallery in New York. One imposing mural in particular seduced visitors, marking the beginning of Pollock's success...
In 1945, Pollock moved in with his wife and set up his studio in a barn, where his most prominent works were born. His monumental paintings were designed according to his unique techniques: drips, splatters, and splashes that flooded the surface of the canvas. The method was dubbed “all-over" painting. Pollock painted without his brush ever touching the canvas, which earned him the nickname “Jack the Dripper".
Art also lies in the gestures and energy of the artist painter; Pollock used it as a means of external expression and a form of cleansing. This was later called “action painting". After 1952, Pollock reintroduced figurative elements in his paintings and began using the brush again. He was very prolific during his last years of life before a fatal car accident put an end to his artistic momentum in 1956.
The abstract expressionist left behind more than 700 works of art that influenced the greatest painters and changed artistic creation forever.
