Untitled (Naked Man) – Jackson Pollock
Untitled (Naked Man) is a painting by Jackson Pollock from the late 1930s: a tall naked man stands facing us, with a round, mask-like form in red and black in place of a head. We paint our hand-painted study of Untitled (Naked Man) to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 80 cm to 110 × 230 cm or in a custom size. Before Untitled (Naked Man) is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Untitled (Naked Man) show?
In Untitled (Naked Man) the pale, strongly outlined body fills almost the full height of the narrow upright format; beside it are dark, orange and yellow areas and plant and animal shapes. The body is painted in thick strokes, the edges are sharp and the paint is laid on densely in places. Pollock was still painting figures at the time, under the influence of the Mexican muralists and Picasso, so Untitled (Naked Man) is a valuable look at his beginnings.
How is our hand-painted study of Untitled (Naked Man) made?
Our painters paint the study of Untitled (Naked Man) 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) has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Untitled (Naked Man) is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
