Scientists identify a mystery colour in one of Jackson Pollock's paintings
Scientists have successfully identified the source of the vibrant blue color in Jackson Pollock's "Number 1A, 1948" as manganese blue, a synthetic pigment. This confirmation, achieved through laser analysis of paint scrapings, marks the first documented use of this specific blue by Pollock. The findings offer insights into Pollock's techniques and contribute to art conservation efforts.
