Commissioned by Peggy Guggenheim for her East 61st Street New York residence, Jackson Pollock's major early work Mural (1943) is not even a mural—it is painted on a six-meter-long canvas. David Anfam explores the painting and its impact by way of the different themes it incorporates, including the imagery of action, the "gothic," the body, dance, and Romanticism. Featuring more than 100 illustrations, this exhibition catalogue offers helpful analysis and historical background on one of Pollock's most significant paintings.
