Going West (1935): Jackson Pollock's Formative Masterpiece
Before the revolutionary drip paintings that defined Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock explored the American landscape with a brush. Going West (1935) is a seminal work from his early period, created during the Great Depression when the artist was deeply influenced by the Regionalist movement and his mentor, Thomas Hart Benton. This painting captures the rugged spirit of westward expansion, blending dynamic composition with a somber, earthy palette that foreshadows Pollock's later experimentation with rhythm and movement.
