No. 5, 1948
Jackson Pollock (1948)
<strong>No. 5, 1948</strong> is a large, floor‑painted field of poured enamel where tangled skeins of black, gray, umber, and bursts of yellow span the entire support. Its <strong>all‑over</strong> structure rejects a central motif, turning the painting into a record of motion and material behavior. The result is a charged surface that reads as both <strong>image and event</strong> <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup><sup>[3]</sup>.
