Description
Guardians of the Secret is a 1943 painting by Jackson Pollock that reflects his interest in Native American art and Jungian mythology. Pollock was exposed to Native American art early in his life and some believe he was influenced by the Indian sand painters and the idea that art-making is a spiritual process. However, Pollock maintained that his influence from Indian art was subconscious and not deliberate. The painting features a synthesis of different influences including world mythology, Miro, African, American Indian, and prehistoric art combined with Picassoid elements to form a psychologically impactful composition. In Guardians of the Secret, an abstracted male and female seem to face a figured "canvas" displayed between them. The "secret" and "guardians" in the painting remain open to interpretation, but it reflects Pollock's exploration of themes and influences up to that time.
