Jackson Pollock
Hans Namuth American
Not on view
"It was a great drama," Namuth later said of his sessions with Jackson Pollock (1912-1956). "The flame of explosion when the paint hit the canvas; the dance-like movement; the eyes tormented before knowing where to strike next; the tension; then the explosion again." In this photograph, Pollock is poised at the edge of his large painting Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) (1950; The Metropolitan Museum of Art); the canvas on the wall behind him is Number 32 (1950; Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen).
