(*) Paul Jackson Pollock (* January 28, 1912, in Cody, Wyoming; † August 11, 1956, in East Hampton, New York) the founding father and master of Action Painting, is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the post-war era. 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. During the 1930s, he engaged with 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 maintained contacts not only with the New York Surrealist group but also with artists like Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell. In 1943, Pollock had his first solo exhibition at Peggy Guggenheim's Art of this Century gallery. Soon after, he created his 'Drip Paintings,' where Pollock poured, splattered, or dripped paint onto canvases. This was followed by numerous solo and group exhibitions across the United States and Europe. He became a central figure of Abstract Expressionism. Pollock fought a lifelong battle against alcoholism and underwent 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, can be found worldwide in numerous renowned museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the British Museum in London, the Tate Gallery, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

About the artwork

Number 32, 1950, is among the most radical visual discoveries not only in Jackson Pollock's work but also in American art of Abstract Expressionism overall. It exemplifies the detachment of the New York School from European art history and articulates a new American self-confidence in art after World War II. Number 32, 1950, represents a culmination and an escalation of his art since the end of 1947.
