Absence of Focal Point~


"Untitled No. 3," Jackson Pollock
This Jackson Pollock Painting is an example of emphasis with no focal point. This work is even, layered, and meant to be looked at as a whole. No particular section is meant to draw our attention or stand out over the rest of the composition. Pollock's paintings were about the experience of creating the art, not about what the art would represent once completed. Painting was his way of letting his subconscious come alive and his work was a result of that "coming alive" state, not a product of it.
