Created with black, white, russet, orange, silver, and stone-blue industrial paints, Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist) (1950) by Jackson Pollock radiates a mauve glow, despite containing no lavender. This work from the Gallery's permanent collection embodies the artistic breakthrough Pollock reached between 1947 and 1951. Though his mural-size "drip" paintings met with mixed reactions when they debuted in 1948, Pollock was considered the darling of the art world within a few years.
