{"product_id":"mural-jackson-pollock","title":"Mural by Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Mural,\" painted by Jackson Pollock in 1943, is housed in the Stanley Museum of Art in Iowa and is one of the earliest examples of his revolutionary approach that would later define \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/expressionism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eabstract\u003c\/a\u003e expressionism. This work, which impressed the entire artistic community with its beauty and size, was commissioned by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peggy_Guggenheim\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePeggy Guggenheim\u003c\/a\u003e , daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim who died in 1912 in the famous sinking of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Titanic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTitanic\u003c\/a\u003e. The composition shows a dramatic shift in Pollock's technique, incorporating large gestural movements and what appear to be paint splashes, which anticipate his famous \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drip-painting\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edrip technique\u003c\/a\u003e developed in later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impressive scale of this work, measuring nearly 8 feet high by 20 feet wide, presented a challenge that Pollock transformed into an opportunity to explore a more expansive mode of artistic expression. Through this work, Pollock began to break free from conventional forms, using dynamic brushstrokes and an energetic rhythm that captures the intensity and force of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis magnificent work is significant not only for its size but also for its ability to encapsulate Pollock's transition towards a freer and more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eabstract style\u003c\/a\u003e, which would be fundamental in redefining modern painting. This painting is a direct precursor to the drip paintings for which Pollock is best known, marking the beginning of an era where the process and raw material of art assumed a primary role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe influence of this canvas extended beyond art, impacting \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003epop culture\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/modernism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emodern art\u003c\/a\u003e, challenging pre-existing notions of what a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/urban-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emural\u003c\/a\u003e should be. It represents a crucial moment in Pollock's career, a turning point that reflects both his personal evolution and the changes in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stein Arts","offers":[{"title":"43 x 18 in","offer_id":49520149889370,"sku":"","price":178.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"52 x 21 in","offer_id":49520149922138,"sku":"","price":202.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"62 x 25 in","offer_id":49520149954906,"sku":"","price":238.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"74 x 30 in","offer_id":49520149987674,"sku":"","price":344.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"87 x 35 in","offer_id":49520150020442,"sku":"","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1851\/6314\/files\/mural-pollock-webp_63edab4f-5c2a-4f67-8fca-53905ea6784e.webp?v=1776440707","url":"https:\/\/stein-arts.com\/products\/mural-by-jackson-pollock","provider":"Stein-Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
