{"product_id":"bird-jackson-pollock","title":"Bird - Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn early, semi-figurative work by Jackson Pollock, featuring mythic symbols and gestural brushwork from his formative period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted around 1941, Bird represents a period in the career of Jackson Pollock when his work was heavily influenced by the imagery of Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and the psychological theories of Carl Jung. During these years, Pollock moved away from the regionalist styles of his teacher, Thomas Hart Benton, and began to explore mythic and totemic subjects. The composition displays a central, circular form that suggests a creature or a symbolic entity, surrounded by abstracted, mask-like faces and a prominent, singular eye at the top of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of paint is thick and gestural, showing the early development of the physical energy that would later define his drip paintings. The palette is restricted to earthy tones, black, and sharp accents of red, which serve to unify the disparate, semi-figurative elements. The work lacks a traditional sense of space, instead presenting a compressed, frontal arrangement that forces the viewer to engage with the symbolic weight of the shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece offers a view into the transition between Pollock's early figurative experiments and his eventual move toward total abstraction. It is a study in the use of primal symbols to convey psychological states. The presence of the eye, a recurring motif in his early work, suggests an interest in the act of seeing and the subconscious mind. By examining this painting, one can observe the artist grappling with the tension between representation and the raw, expressive power of the paint itself. It remains a clear example of the mid-century American shift toward a more subjective and internalised mode of artistic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-bull-fight-joan-miro\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Bull Fight by Joan Miró\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fairy-tale-of-the-dwarf-paul-klee\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFairy Tale of the Dwarf by Paul Klee\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jackson Pollock","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130951041359,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130955006287,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130955039055,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130955071823,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130955104591,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130955137359,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130955170127,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130955202895,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130955235663,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130955268431,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130955301199,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130955333967,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bird_Poster_CompositorV1_1792108297039.jpg?v=1792131845","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/bird-jackson-pollock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
