Jackson Pollock American, 1912–1956
Greyed Rainbow
1953
Jackson Pollock's 'Grey Rainbow' (1953) is a late 'drip' painting in which Pollock modulates his all-over skeins of flung paint into a long horizontal composition of silver, earth, and muted prismatic passages. Painted in the final years before his 1956 death, the work marks Pollock's partial turn back toward compositional structure. Oil on linen, Art Institute of Chicago.
