"Untitled (Green Silver)," 1949"The paper in 'Untitled (Green, Silver)' is completely covered with enamel and aluminum paint, a pulsating tangle of pigment. Each vestige of paint has its own characteristics, particularly in relation to the others. A universe of life teems within, and yet it is brilliantly devoid of human pathos," writes Susan Yung, a writer for the Downtown Express, about the 2006 Guggenheim exhibition titled "No Limits, Just Edges: Jackson Pollock Paintings on Paper."
Friday is "Paint Like Pollock Day" for my 8th grade students. In its' third year, this day is both wonderful and exhausting. The students are eager to display their interpretation of "pulsating tangles of pigments!"
