Composition with Pouring II — Fine Art

Composition with Pouring II by Jackson Pollock shows a field covered in lines poured from a stick. Black paint crosses the surface in thin streams with ochre and white mixed in. The marks move across the sheet without a centre. Action painting built this kind of work. You can see the speed in each poured line.

The fine art print uses matte paper so the black streaks stay dull and the ochre does not shine. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the poured marks clear. A dark frame on a pale wall does the same. The frame finish follows the room you choose.

It hangs on the stairwell wall where the light comes from above. Each step gives a new angle on the poured lines. You notice the thin black streams and the mixed ochre from the landing.
