Pollock Pasiphaë Pocket Pad
Gifts for art lovers.
Our pocket pad features a detail from Jackson Pollock's oil painting titled Pasiphaë (ca. 1943) in The Met collection. Pasiphaë, named after the Cretan princess who gave birth to the half-man, half-bull Minotaur, confronts the viewer with swirling and angular lines and broken forms, all pressed up to the front of the picture plane—an effect later seen in Pollock's famous "drip" canvases. Amid the chaos are barely discernible sentinel-like forms on both sides of a prostrate figure in the center. Throughout World War II, many artists mined classical mythology for tragic themes of war, struggle, and loss.
We're pleased to present this item in celebration of Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous, the first major exhibition charting the full arc of the careers of Lee Krasner (American, 1908–1984) and Jackson Pollock (American, 1912–1956) in parallel, examining the distinct yet connected practices of these artistic peers and life partners.
