Echo

"Echo" is a 1951 painting by Jackson Pollock, a leading figure in the Abstract Expressionism movement. Pollock is renowned for his "drip" or "action painting" technique, where he poured and dripped paint onto canvas, often laid flat on the floor. This method allowed him to capture the energy and movement of his gestures. "Echo" is noted for its use of black enamel on unsized canvas, a period where Pollock's earlier imagery became more evident within his abstract style. The painting is considered a significant work from this phase of his career.1
