overanalysis


Top: The She-Wolf, 1943. Bottom: Jackson Pollock walking in field with wife Lee Krasner, Springs, New York, 1949.

Lee Krasner
What's this? I see the head, the body. This isn't Cubism, Jackson, because you're not really breaking down the figure into multiple views. You're just showing us one side. And what is this? Free Association? Automatism?
Jackson Pollock
I'm just painting, Lee.
From 2000's Pollock.
