(*) Paul Jackson Pollock (* January 28, 1912 in Cody, Wyoming; d. August 11, 1956 in East Hampton, New York) the founding father and master of Action Painting, undoubtedly ranks among the most significant artists of the postwar period. From 1925 to 1929 he attended the Manual Arts School in Los Angeles. In 1930 he moved to New York and studied painting at the Art Students League with Thomas Hart Benton. In the 1930s he engaged with the Mexican muralists José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera. From 1938 to 1942 he painted murals for the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration. In 1942 he participated in the International Surrealist Exhibition. He had contact with artists such as Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell in addition to the New York Surrealist group. In 1943 Pollock held his first solo exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim's Art of this Century Gallery. Soon thereafter his "Drip Paintings" emerged, in which Pollock poured, flung, or dripped paint onto canvas. Numerous national and European solo and group exhibitions followed. He became a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. Pollock fought alcoholism throughout his life and entered therapy several times. He died in a traffic accident in East Hampton in 1956.

Works by Jackson Pollock, one of the most important artists of the past century, are found worldwide in numerous renowned museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the British Museum in London and the Tate Gallery, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, or the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

About the artwork:

“Number 32, 1950” ranks among the most radical visual inventions not only in Pollock’s oeuvre but in American Abstract Expressionism as a whole. It stands as a paradigm for the detachment of the New York School from European art history and for articulating a new American self-confidence in art after World War II. “Number 32, 1950” represents a sum and intensification of his art since the end of 1947.
