Beschreibung
A seminal example of Jackson Pollock's drip technique, featuring a dense, layered web of oil, enamel, and aluminium paint.
Alchemy, painted in 1947, represents a transition in the career of Jackson Pollock. It is one of his earliest examples of the drip technique, where the artist moved away from traditional easel painting to place his canvas directly on the floor. This method allowed him to apply paint from all four sides, creating a web of lines that lacks a single point of focus. The composition relies on the physical movement of the artist, who poured, dripped, and flicked liquid paint onto the surface.
The surface of the work contains a mixture of oil, aluminium paint, and enamel. The inclusion of metallic paint adds a reflective quality to the work, catching light differently depending on the viewer's position. Unlike his later, more expansive works, Alchemy retains a sense of density and layered complexity. The paint is applied in varying thicknesses, with some areas showing thin, fluid lines and others featuring thicker, textured deposits.
Pollock's approach to this work rejects the idea of a planned image. Instead, the process of creation is visible in the final result. The tangled lines and splatters document the rhythm and speed of his gestures. By removing the brush from the surface, he eliminated the traditional connection between the hand and the canvas, allowing gravity and the viscosity of the paint to dictate the final form. This work remains a primary example of the shift towards process-oriented art in the mid-twentieth century, where the act of painting itself becomes the subject of the work.

Artist Biography
Jackson Pollock
Pollock grew up in Arizona and California, the youngest of five brothers. His father left when he was eight. Two of his brothers were already studying art, and he followed them to the Art Students League in New York at seventeen, where he worked under Thomas Hart Benton. Benton painted muscular American regionalist scenes: cowboys, farmhands, rolling landscapes. Pollock absorbed the energy and rejected the subject matter.
He drank heavily from his teens onwards. He was in and out of psychiatric treatment, tried Jungian analysis, and spent time working for the WPA Federal Art Project during the Depression. The early paintings are dark, tangled, influenced by Picasso and by the Mexican muralists Orozco and Siqueiros, whose experimental techniques (including pouring paint) Pollock encountered in a workshop.
The drip paintings started in 1947. He laid canvas on the floor of his barn in Springs, Long Island, and poured household enamel paint from tins, flicking and dripping it with sticks, trowels, and hardened brushes. He moved around the canvas, working from all four sides. No easel, no brushes touching surface, no predetermined composition. 'I am nature,' he told an interviewer, which sounds grandiose but describes the method accurately: the paintings record physical movement through space.
The drip period lasted roughly four years. By 1951 he had largely stopped, returning to figurative work that nobody wanted. His marriage to the painter Lee Krasner deteriorated alongside the drinking. He died in a car crash in 1956, at forty-four, drunk at the wheel. Krasner spent the next three decades managing his legacy and making her own paintings, which were excellent and consistently overlooked.
