A recent study has revealed that Jackson Pollock's abstract expressionist works may hide recognizable images, or 'polloglyphs', which the artist might not have consciously known about due to his bipolar disorder. This research suggests that Pollock's drip painting technique obscured these visuals, linking them to sketches he created during his first therapy sessions in 1936. Notably, his 1945 painting 'Troubled Queen', which features chaotic forms, contains discernible figures that emerge upon rotation, showcasing a mix of vivid portrayals that reflect Pollock's unique artistic genius intertwined with his psychological complexities.
The chaotic patterns of Jackson Pollock's paintings may contain hidden images, or 'polloglyphs', that the artist may have been unaware of due to his bipolar disorder.
The study claims Pollock's drip technique camouflaged recognizable images, suggesting a connection with sketches he made during psychoanalysis, highlighting the duality of his creative process.
