No Limits, Just Edges: Jackson Pollock - Paintings on Paper features a compelling group of approximately fifty artworks drawn from international collections and gives a comprehensive overview on the drawing works of Jackson Pollock.
A retrospective selection highlighting the most important phases of Pollock’s works on paper begins with his early sketchbook studies based on old master paintings as well as those influenced by his contemporaries, mainly the Mexican muralists. Significant consideration in the exhibition will be given to Pollock’s works on paper executed in the decisive decade between 1940 and 1950 which mirror Pollock’s advancements in painting and display the artist’s reading of Surrealist imagery and techniques. However, by late 1947, Pollock had identified an entirely new approach to his surface, abandoning any reference to figuration as he developed his allover abstract compositions.
No Limits, Just Edges re-examines the artist’s practice as a draftsman by considering his works on paper as an essential component in his transformation of the traditional figurative line into a non-figurative graphic expression.
