Pollock’s earlier paintings were predominantly in black and white, including Number Twenty-Three, Echo, and Number Seven. In 1952 he decided to return to his large-scale full-color formats with Convergence and Blue Poles.
Jackson Pollock’s alcoholism and bouts of intense depression added to his fame throughout the United States, as he continued to paint to separate himself and distract himself from his own social problems. Van Gogh and many other artists have done something similar. He sought therapy through his novel drip painting approach, which included Number 1 (Lavender Mist).
Convergence it shows Pollock’s emotions in abstract form and shows that they are wild, with his innovative and multi-leveled imagination on full display. It was the best art form he could find to fully represent his troubled mind that haunted him, but it also led to his best art.
Jackson Pollock had a unique method of creating his masterpieces, circling around a huge canvas placed on the floor, while randomly dripping, spilling and splattering paints onto the canvas. This has since been called action painting. Each painting would have a great deal of randomness, fostered by his unconscious mind, with no consistent theme from one painting to the next. It was the birth of abstract painting as Pollock’s subconscious unraveled in a fusion of works that offered the freedom of his imagination as a rare art form.
Another draw to Convergence is Pollock’s suggestion that being an artist doesn’t require certain technical skills and that art can be accessed by everyone for themselves. He pioneered art through the abstract movement that educated people to believe in the freedom of art, rather than pre-established ideas.
Abstract artists of the time, such as Pollock and Rothko, believed that traditional art could not portray their emotions vividly enough, so they followed this innovative path that would later bring American painting to the forefront of international art and lead to New York to replace Paris as the world’s leader in avant-garde art.
