Jackson studied old master paintings and mural paintings.Pollock work was very liked by Peggy Guggenheim. She gave him a solo exhibition and a contract of 150 once a monthfor a year.His art work
praise and dismissed at the same time.The Museum of Modern Art in New York  which hold Jackson  Pollock paintings and also the National Gallery of Art .He bought a house in the springs on East Hampton, Long Island . Where he and his wife lived until their deaths.Now the Pollock - Krasner house and study  center, in Washington D.C. Number1 1950 ( Lavender Mist) Number7,1951 untitled, circa 1950. National
Gallery of Australia in Canberra Totem Lesson 2 1945 Blue Poles. Pollock's sketchbook, contain more than 500 drawing.The lavender Mist IS impossible to make sense of Jackson's Pollock's work..Pollock used patterns caused by different designs and the painting has the look of a marble .The colors tiny black striations and a dusty pink color.It produced many many tones. Pollock's had another painting called Going West , that painting made lot of sense because it showed Americans riding horses Over a bridge traveling into the west.

  1. The last couple of sentences of your post are the most interesting to me because they tell your personal take on his work. How you see the colors, lines, and patterns and what (if anything they mean to you). Those kinds of details are going to enrich your responses.
