Landscape with Steer 1937 1 — Fine Art

Landscape with Steer 1937 1 shows a lone steer on open ground, laid down in loose black lines on a pale ground. Jackson Pollock built the scene with a steady hand and a restless line, the kind of gesture he kept coming back to. The animal stands apart from the field, with a few quick strokes giving it weight.

This fine art print sits inside a white frame, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall, and the clean border keeps the steer separate from the room around it.

It works on a kitchen wall where morning light hits the glass and the black lines stand out against the pale ground. From the table you see the steer first, then the spare field behind it.
