Description
In Circumcision, Jackson Pollock explores a more fluid and expressive style, departing from his earlier dependence on Pablo Picasso. The work shows the influence of primitive art forms, with crudely drawn arrows, stick figures, and ornamental markings. Totemic figures in the painting suggest a scene of violence and the enactment of a rite of passage, but the visual evidence does not encourage a specific reading. The texture of the paint is emphasized, and the composition is decentralized, with areas of intense activity filling the entire surface. The title of the painting was suggested by Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner, after it was completed. This work marked a transitional period in Pollock's career and demonstrated his growing recognition as one of the strongest painters of his generation.
