Rolph Scarlett, untitled drip painting, c.1948-1952, the Sam Esses Estate. Jackson Pollock was employed as a carpenter at the Museum of Non-Objective Art (later the Guggenheim) at the same time that Scarlett was painting works that would go into the museum’s collection, so it is entirely possible that they met, talked, and observed. In any case, their approach to drip was different. Pollock was intensely involved in his work whereas Scarlett too more of an automotist approach. He writes of filling a can hung on a string with paint. Then he would puncture a hole in the bottom and would send the can circling over the canvas. Of smaller things are great movements made.
