Cotton Pickers – Jackson Pollock
Cotton Pickers is a painting by Jackson Pollock from the 1930s: under a grey, windy sky, workers bend over a cotton field, dragging white sacks behind them. We paint our hand-painted study of Cotton Pickers to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 40 cm to 150 × 120 cm or in a custom size. Before Cotton Pickers is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Cotton Pickers show?
In Cotton Pickers a brown field stretches to a horizon with a low house and dark trees, under a heavy, cloudy sky. The bent figures are painted in soft, rolling strokes, and their white sacks glow as the only light accents in the painting. This is the early Pollock, who at the time painted rural America after the example of his teacher Thomas Hart Benton, so Cotton Pickers is figurative and tells a story.
How is our hand-painted study of Cotton Pickers made?
Our painters paint the study of Cotton Pickers by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Cotton Pickers has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Cotton Pickers is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Cotton Pickers suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Cotton Pickers in 110 × 90 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 50 × 40 cm. Cotton Pickers is available in 50 × 40 cm, 60 × 50 cm, 75 × 60 cm, 90 × 70 cm, 100 × 80 cm, 110 × 90 cm, 130 × 100 cm and 150 × 120 cm. A simple rule for Cotton Pickers: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Cotton Pickers arrive, and when?
We ship Cotton Pickers rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed – you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Cotton Pickers are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Cotton Pickers is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Cotton Pickers painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
