Jackson Pollock's Lavender Mist is an abstract piece of work that relies heavily on texture and contrast in order to create an earthy appearance. The texture feature of the painting creates multiple layers which allows for a 3-D like appearance. Pollock also uses different shades and colors which attracts the viewer's attention over the entire image. This painting incorporates Pollock's infamous drip paint technique which heavily influenced the works of later artists. Lavender Mist is a quite popular piece but I don't view it as an amazing work of art. Its three dimensional appearance is interesting but the colors are not appealing with this piece. Although I personally don't care much for the painting, the process that is necessary to create this work is not simplistic. Pollock didn't simply splatter paint on a canvas, he is a talented artist that carefully planned out his approach and through using his drip technique he was able to design this painting.
