A selection of some of the world s great paintings.
This week's subject:
The Language of Colour Pollock (1912-1956) Autumn Rhythm at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
This is probably the most puzzling work in the entire series. It looks literally like a pot of paint flung at a canvas. Yet Jackson Pollock is acknowledged as having spear-headed a new movement in art, ' action painting '.
