Painting – Jackson Pollock
Painting is a work by Jackson Pollock from 1945: a light, cream ground is covered with lines, loops and half-recognisable figures in blue, yellow, green, red and black. We paint our hand-painted study of Painting to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 55 cm to 130 × 180 cm or in a custom size. Before Painting is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Painting show?
In Painting, faces, eyes, numbers and signs appear among quick, curling strokes and can hardly be told apart from the drawing itself; the colours are light, laid down in short and long sweeps across the whole surface. The work dates from 1945, when Pollock moved to Springs on Long Island and was moving towards fully abstract painting. Painting is therefore both a drawing and a composition of colours, full of movement.
How is our hand-painted study of Painting made?
Our painters paint the study of Painting 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 Painting has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Painting is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Painting suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Painting in 80 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 55 cm. Painting is available in 40 × 55 cm, 50 × 70 cm, 57 × 79 cm, 70 × 100 cm, 80 × 110 cm, 90 × 120 cm, 110 × 150 cm and 130 × 180 cm. A simple rule for Painting: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
How does Painting arrive, and when?
We ship Painting 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 Painting are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Painting is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Painting painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.
Frequently asked questions about Painting
Is Painting a print?
No. Every brushstroke of Painting is painted by hand on canvas, so the paint visibly stands up from the surface.
Can I order Painting in a size that is not listed?
Yes. We also paint Painting in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order Painting.
Why does the painting have such a plain title?
Pollock often gave his works plain titles or numbers, so that they would be looked at without a story in mind. Painting has no single subject, only lines and colours.
Is Painting a good gift?
Painting is a gift for a lover of Pollock, of abstract art or of light, playful colours. If you are unsure which size of Painting to choose, give a gift voucher.
