39. One of the best ways to understand Abstract Expressionism —or any art form— is through the words of an artist, while considering one of his paintings. One of the most famous Abstract Expressionists, or action painters, was Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), who created one of the most original forms of expression in the history of American painting. Paragraph 3

40. In Pollock’s work Autumn Rhythm: No. 30, the paint is dribbled and flung upon the canvas , which, as Pollock worked on it, was placed flat on the floor rather than upright on an easel. The end result is unpremeditated, and the “happy accident” is an integral part of the imagery and a reference to its spontaneity. On an off-white ground, the primary color is black, with a secondary color of rust-orange and touches of numerous other hues. Paragraph 4

41. The painting exists as an exciting aesthetic experience—an experience the viewer can share because the painting itself explains in an instant the process of its making. Typically of Pollock’s work, the overall effect is without depth of space or focal center. While the action glides across the surface, a structure, a unity, and even an order eventually evolve in the multitude of complexities. Paragraph 5

42. It was noted in interviews that Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists “are not concerned with representing a preconceived idea , but rather with being involved with an experience of paint and canvas, without interference from the suggested forms and colors of existing objects. Pollock does not know beforehand how a particular work of his will end. He is impelled to work by the urge, the strong need, to create, and this urge and what it produces are forever unknowable. We can experience the unknowable but not understand it intellectually.” Paragraph 6

43. “…when I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of ‘get acquainted’ period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.” Paragraph 7
