Miltos Manetas color drips ala Jackson Pollock
Manetas's award winning website is readily found if you are looking for jackson pollock images. go to www.jacksonpollock.org
as a tribute to Milton Manetas, the creator of the jacksonpollock.org website, – the theme of this blog – the posting is placed in october, the month Manetas was born, in athens, greece in 1964.
upon entering the site, you will be instantly transformed into an abstract expressionist: here you can freely play with the flowing colors and lines as you create your ala pollock within his splashy application.
not a copy, the work that you will create will be a “pop” versions of the abstract expressionist style. Pollock's actual work - as shown here too – reveals a somber, neutral range of colors with surrealist references to the symbolic subconscious.
Quoting from source of the “Autumn Rhythm” (Number 30) 1950 image as posted by
The Metropolitan Museum of Art:
In "Autumn Rhythm," as in many of his paintings, Pollock first created a complex linear skeleton using black paint. For this initial layer the paint was diluted, so that it soaked into the length of unprimed canvas, thereby inextricably joining image and support. Over this black framework Pollock wove an intricate web of white, brown, and turquoise lines, which produce the contrary visual rhythms and sensations: light and dark, thick and thin, heavy and buoyant, straight and curved, horizontal and vertical. Textural passages that contribute to the painting's complexity — such as the pooled swirls where two colors meet and the wrinkled skins formed by the build-up of paint — are barely visible in the initial confusion of overlapping lines. Although Pollock's imagery is non-representational, "Autumn Rhythm" is evocative of nature, not only in its title but also in its coloring, horizontal orientation, and sense of ground and space.
