In Jackson Pollock’s painting titled Untitled No. 3, the dynamic contrast of colors such as the black, and then yellow and white creates rhythm. Each line or splatter in the painting changes, sometimes abruptly, which keeps us visually entertained. The repetition of Pollock’s scattered strokes provides an element of visual unity. The repeated colors and layers of splatters are repetitive and consistent, making up many different curves and lines. Our eyes stay on the canvas almost as if it were a maze that we can never seem to find the start and the finish of. Our eyes follow layer upon layer, line after line, connecting through curves and separating by colors. Pollock’s painting could almost be described as music without sound, splattered shapes of colors dancing to the beat in the artists head. This painting has some serious rhythm. – Anne Marie
