Hans Namuth - L'Atelier de Jackson Pollock - Macula 1994

A landmark photographic document of Jackson Pollock at work in his Long Island studio, photographed by Hans Namuth in 1950. The sequence captures Pollock’s radical working process at close range, including his drip paintings made with the canvas laid directly on the floor, while the accompanying texts examine the relationship between the photographic image, Pollock’s technique and the subsequent construction of his artistic mythology. The volume includes essays by E.A. Carmean Jr., Jean Clay, Rosalind Krauss, Francis V. O’Connor and Barbara Rose, excerpts from Pollock’s own statements, and two interviews with Lee Krasner. Namuth’s photographs became fundamental to the reception of Pollock’s work and to the understanding of Action Painting and the “all-over” technique.
