Other Works on Paper by Jackson Pollock in The Met Collection

The Met’s robust holdings of works on paper by Jackson Pollock—with forty drawings given by Lee Krasner in 1982, and three featured sketchbooks bequeathed after her death in 1984—reveal an artist searching for his creative foundations. These loose-leaf drawings span Pollock’s artistic development, from works shaped by his studies with the American painter Thomas Hart Benton at New York’s Art Students League to later explorations that anticipated his drip technique.
