About this work

Overview

This untitled screenprint by Jackson Pollock features a predominantly red field with a central yellow shape and a small black dot. The work has a textured, rough quality and includes an additional screenprint on its reverse side.

Subject & Meaning

The yellow shape contains indistinct, uneven forms that may suggest figures or animals, but their meaning is ambiguous. The overall composition conveys a sense of dynamic energy and possible chaos.

Technique & Style

The screenprint technique allowed Pollock to create a work with a rough, textured surface. The use of bold colors and abstract forms reflects his association with the abstract expressionist movement, although this work predates his signature 'drip technique'.

History & Provenance

Created around 1944, this print is an early example of Pollock's work in screenprinting. It is now part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
