{"product_id":"blue-moby-dick-jackson-pollock","title":"Blue (Moby Dick) - Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1946 work by Jackson Pollock, Blue (Moby Dick) features abstract, glyph-like forms and a primary colour palette, marking the artist's transition toward his signature gestural style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePainted in 1946, Blue (Moby Dick) represents a period in Jackson Pollock's career where his work moved away from the rigid structures of his earlier influences towards the gestural freedom that would define his later output. This piece occupies a space between figuration and pure abstraction, featuring a series of glyph-like forms suspended against a deep blue ground. The composition avoids a central focus, instead scattering organic shapes and linear markings across the surface.\n\nPollock employs a palette dominated by primary colours, specifically the contrast between the saturated blue background and the sharp accents of yellow, black, and white. The forms themselves suggest a maritime or mythic narrative, echoing the literary themes of Herman Melville's novel. Unlike his later drip paintings, this work retains a sense of deliberate placement, with distinct shapes that appear to float or drift. The application of paint varies from thin, calligraphic lines to broader, flatter areas of colour. This approach creates a sense of movement, as if the elements are caught in a current. The work demonstrates Pollock's interest in the subconscious and the use of symbolic imagery to convey psychological states. It remains a clear example of his transition from the influence of European Surrealism to the development of his own visual language, which prioritised the physical act of painting as a primary mode of expression.\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\/untitled-three-black-rectangles-on-purple-mark-rothko\" 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;\"\u003eUntitled (Three Black Rectangles on Purple) - Mark Rothko — Mark Rothko\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-abstract-composition-ink-on-paper-wassily-kandinsky\" 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;\"\u003eUntitled (Abstract Composition, Ink on Paper) - Wassily Kandinsky — Wassily Kandinsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jackson Pollock","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913721520463,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913722372431,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913722405199,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913722437967,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57913722470735,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Blue-Moby-Dick-_Poster_CompositorV1_1781400013838.jpg?v=1781408790","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/blue-moby-dick-jackson-pollock","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
