16. Jackson Pollock

Not everyone is a fan of this artist's work, but I will say that "Autumn Rhythm" is a nicely balanced piece. While it is what you might essentially call "splatter art", Pollock managed to achieve a sense of lively movement and expressive animation. The Seattle Art Museum has one of his paintings ("Sea Change") on display in their permanent collection. Check it out on a free first Thursday.

Autumn Rhythm (No. 30). Oil on canvas. 1950.


Full Fathom Five. Oil on canvas. 1947.


Convergence. Oil on canvas. 1952.


No. 18. Oil on canvas. 1950.


No. 5. Oil on canvas. 1948.
