Inner Narrative
The work shows Pollock's early fascination with organic forms and attempts to represent movement and life through expressive metaphors and figurative elements, serving as a prelude to his later abstract experiments.
The key to interpreting the work
The interpretation of the painting should take into account the combination of animal and figure motifs and pay attention to the developing visual expression techniques that Pollock was exploring at this time.See other works by this artist
