Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) – Jackson Pollock
Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) is a painting by Jackson Pollock from the late 1930s: naked, muscular bodies in red, ochre and black twist in a struggle, and above them an arm rises with a knife. We paint our hand-painted study of Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 70 cm to 150 × 210 cm or in a custom size. Before Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) show?
In Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) the figures are locked so tightly together that it is hard to tell where one body ends and the next begins; sharp edges, strong shadows and diagonals give the scene violent movement. Pollock painted it with a brush, in the years when he was inspired by the Mexican muralists, Orozco above all, and their dramatic figures. Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) is therefore one of his powerful early works, full of tension.
How is our hand-painted study of Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) made?
Our painters paint the study of Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) 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 Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Untitled (Naked Man with Knife) is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
