Informed partly by the Surrealists’ exploration of the unconscious mind, Pollock experimented in “Mural” with real and mythical imagery, dynamic gestures, and a vibrant palette, thereby further developing his idiosyncratic style as it approached abstraction. ⠀ “Mural” is now on view as part of “Away from the Easel: Jackson Pollock’s Mural,” a focused exhibition dedicated to the painting, which is now in the collection of the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, Iowa City, as a result of Peggy Guggenheim’s donation. “Mural” hasn’t been on view in New York in more than 20 years, and this exhibition marks its debut in the city following the completion of an extensive research and restoration project undertaken by the Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. ⠀ __ “Mural” (1943), University of Iowa Museum of Art; Reproduced with permission from The University of Iowa; © 2020 The Pollock-Krasner Foundation/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Photo: David Heald #JacksonPollock #PollockMural #Guggenheim #AwayFromtheEasel」10月6日 9時52分
