For the first time in France since the retrospective that the Musée National d'Art Moderne devoted to the painter in 1982, the exhibition at the Musée National Picasso-Paris looks back at the early years of Jackson Pollock (1912-1956): from 1938, the date of his first works marked by the influence of Mexican muralists, to 1947 when Pollock produced his first drippings. Rarely exhibited for himself, the corpus of these pivotal years navigates between figurative references and abstract formal research. It bears witness to the various sources that nourished the young artist's research, crossing the influence of Native American art with that of the European avant-gardes, among which Pablo Picasso figures prominently.
