Before Number 3, 1950 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Number 3, 1950 show?
In Number 3, 1950 white loops, black drips and ochre, orange and red-brown patches weave across the whole long canvas, so densely that there is no beginning and no end. Pollock laid the canvas on the floor and dripped and poured the paint onto it with a stick, which is why Number 3, 1950 feels like the record of a movement full of energy.
How is our hand-painted study of Number 3, 1950 made?
Our painters paint the study of Number 3, 1950 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 Number 3, 1950 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Number 3, 1950 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
