{"product_id":"birth-jackson-pollock","title":"Birth - Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early, myth-inspired work by Jackson Pollock, featuring dense, gestural forms and a palette of deep blues and ochres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced during his early career, Birth is a significant example of Jackson Pollock's formative period. Before he developed his signature drip technique, Pollock worked in a style heavily influenced by Mexican muralists, such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, and the psychoanalytic theories of Carl Jung. This work displays a preoccupation with mythic imagery and primal themes, which occupied his attention throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dense and vertical, featuring a series of distorted, mask-like faces and anatomical fragments that seem to emerge from a chaotic, swirling background. The application of paint is heavy and gestural, with thick black outlines defining the figures against a palette of deep blues, ochres, and whites. These forms suggest a struggle between creation and destruction, a recurring motif in Pollock's early output. The figures are not rendered with anatomical precision, but rather through a series of symbolic shapes that evoke a sense of psychological tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollock's use of line here is aggressive and rhythmic, prefiguring the energy that would later define his large-scale abstractions. The work reflects his interest in the collective unconscious and the desire to externalise internal states through non-representational means. By focusing on the act of birth, the artist explores themes of origin and transformation. The painting remains a clear indicator of his transition from regionalist influences toward the radical abstraction that would define his later career. It is a dense, challenging piece that rewards close observation of its layered surfaces and symbolic content.\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=\"\/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=\"\/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 \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849085260111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849176125775,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849176158543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849176191311,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58849176224079,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Birth_Poster_CompositorV1_1790074925485.jpg?v=1790075611","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/birth-jackson-pollock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
