"The Deep" 1953 oil on canvas by Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) at @centrepompidou the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Written near the painting: "The Deep" is one of the last paintings by Jackson Pollock, who died in 1956. For many years, the artist had explored the dripping technique, which involved pouring or dripping paint onto a canvas laid on the floor. In 1951, he reintroduced the human figure into his works, and once more explored the relationship between background and surface, as illustrated by "The Deep." The work is like a cloud of milky paint with a split at the center, which reveals a matt black depth highlighted with red. In this sense, it is reminiscent of the atmospheric sensations of contemporary painters like Mark Rothko. The result here is a singular work. #pollock #jacksonpollock #jacksonpollockweek #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #pompidoucentre #pompidou #georgespompidoucenter #abstactpainting #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #thedeep (at Centre Pompidou)
