The book examines a distinct phase in the career of Jackson Pollock, highlighting the period from 1951 to 1953 when he produced a series of paintings primarily using black enamel paint on unprimed canvas. Often referred to as the black pourings, these works represent a significant shift from his earlier, more colorful drip paintings, introducing calligraphic, linear, and occasionally figurative elements. Functioning as either an exhibition catalog or an art historical study, the volume provides visual documentation and critical analysis of this specific body of work, exploring its themes, techniques, and its overall place within the broader context of post-war American abstract art.
