Jackson Pollock's Mural , created early in his career in 1943, is a vast panorama spanning a 6-metre-long canvas - the largest painting he ever made. Mural marked a watershed for Pollock: a presentiment of the epic scale, complexity, energy and ambition of the work ahead. David Anfam considers the manifold influences on Pollock that led to this landmark achievement - including the context of the American West, his hitherto little-known relationship with Clyfford Still and the importance of wartime action photography. He also traces the explosive magnetism Mural exerted over the emergent Abstract Expressionists and its legacy for painters and sculptors as diverse as Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, David Smith, Richard Serra and Brice Marden. Indeed, the work's wider impact on post-war American art is comparable to that of Picasso's Demoiselles d'Avignon on European modernism in the first half of the twentieth century

Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Jackson Pollock s major early work Mural (1943) was commissioned by Peggy Guggenheim for the entrance hall of her East 61st Street New York residence. Mural-sized, though not actually a mural the work is painted on a six-meter-long canvas, not directly onto the wall this vast, frieze-like panorama would be hugely influential in twentieth-century American art. In Jackson Pollock's Mural Energy Made Visible, David Anfam explores the painting and its impact by way of the different themes it incorporates, including the imagery of action and process, the big picture, the gothic, the body, dance, and Romanticism, relating them to art historical precedents, Abstract Expressionism, Pollock s psychology, and the context of American art and culture in the pre-and postwar years. This analysis is accompanied by reproductions of Pollock s work as well as imagery from the period that sheds light on the artist s development. Gifted to the University of Iowa Museum of Art in 1959, Mural has rarely traveled, and it is now the focus of a traveling exhibition curated by Anfam. This accompanying volume offers crucial analysis and historical background on one of Pollock s most significant works. ' An astute, beautifully illustrated examination of the recently restored touchstone of modern art BEAUTIFUL COPY! ! !
