Paint Analysis of Jackson Pollock's Mural발음듣기

One of the standard approaches to analyzing artist paint is to take a tiny sample so that we reveal the layers in their sequence of application, from the ground upwards through the various layers to the varnish.발음듣기

So we see the whole sequence of paint applications revealed in this one tiny sample that's just a few hundred microns across.발음듣기

Some of the other information we can get from paint cross-sections are to do with the interactions between layers.발음듣기

We can tell, for example, if one paint layer was applied over a paint that was still wet when the second paint was applied.발음듣기

We find that the very first set of paints applied by Pollock are a series of four paints, which seem to represent his first laying in of the broad composition, applied very dynamically.발음듣기

Most of those paints show wet-in-wet interactions.발음듣기

So we see the cadmium lemon picking up particles of the cerulean blue from the teal, and the yellow getting intermingled with the umber.발음듣기

So our general conclusion is that the very dynamic, creative phase of painting comes in that set of four paints.발음듣기

We've used quite a range of analytical techniques, and we were able to identify that the majority of the paints in "Mural" are actually oil paint, and high-quality artist's oil paint at that.발음듣기

The finding of casein house paint alongside all the oil paints in "Mural" was really something of a surprise, really rather unexpected.발음듣기

We think that Pollock chose that particular material for its qualities of being opaque, bright, white, and covering, and quick drying to fill in the background reserve between all the colored shapes.발음듣기

And while we're throwing all this scientific technical know-how at the work, it's important for us to remember all along that we're doing that to enlighten how he went about creating this spectacular work of art.발음듣기
