{"product_id":"number-14-jackson-pollock","title":"Number 14 - Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking black and white abstract composition from 1951, showcasing Jackson Pollock's mastery of gestural line and rhythmic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumber 14, produced in 1951, belongs to a period in which Jackson Pollock moved away from his earlier polychromatic drip paintings. During this time, he focused on a restricted palette of black and white, often incorporating industrial materials such as Duco enamel. This shift allowed him to explore the relationship between line, form, and the physical surface of the canvas without the distraction of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition displays the characteristic energy associated with Pollock's process. The black paint is applied in fluid, gestural marks that weave across the light-toned ground. These lines vary in weight and density, creating a sense of movement that suggests both depth and flatness simultaneously. Unlike his earlier works, which often featured dense, all-over webs of colour, this piece reveals more of the negative space, allowing individual marks to remain distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollock's technique involved placing the canvas on the floor, which enabled him to work from all four sides. This approach removed the traditional hierarchy of a top or bottom edge. The resulting image is a record of the physical actions taken during its creation. The interplay between the dark, viscous paint and the pale background creates a stark contrast, drawing the eye to the rhythm of the brushwork and the drips that define the surface. This work provides an example of the artist's transition toward a more graphic, calligraphic style, where the act of painting becomes a direct extension of the artist's movement. It remains a significant example of mid-century American abstraction, demonstrating how Pollock manipulated paint to create a sense of balance within a seemingly chaotic arrangement of marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/red-orange-tan-and-purple-mark-rothko\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRed, Orange, Tan and Purple - Mark Rothko — Mark Rothko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/untitled-abstract-composition-ink-on-paper-wassily-kandinsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Abstract Composition, Ink on Paper) - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jackson Pollock","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58839896949071,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840047944015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840047976783,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Number-14_Poster_CompositorV1_1789981309782.jpg?v=1789983317","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/number-14-jackson-pollock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
