Before Pollock's Drip Paintings became well known his previous works consisted of abstract art. This one in particular pertained to him when he was around the age of 26 when he was suffering from psychological breakdowns from his alcoholic binges that he would partake in. In this piece he transferred his emotions, feelings, and visions onto the canvas and made that the focal point of his art.

Quote Of The Day: “The modern artist…is working and expressing an inner world – in other words – expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.” (Jackson Pollock)
