Pollock asserted the following year that “‘She-Wolf’ came into existence because I had to paint it. Any attempt on my part to say something about it, to attempt explanation on the inexplicable, could only destroy it.” ⠀ Nonetheless, mythological imagery was prevalent in Pollock’s work, and he may have been inspired by the creation story of Rome, wherein a wolf suckled the city’s twin founders, Romulus and Remus. The work became the first Pollock to be acquired by a museum. ⠀ “The She-Wolf" is on view now in “Away from the Easel: Jackson Pollock’s Mural.” Plan your visit at guggenheim.org/pollockmural. ⠀ __ “The She-Wolf” (1943); The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Purchase, 1944 © 2020 The Pollock-Krasner Foundation/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
