Description

Pollock's freely admitted total retrenchment from traditional methods of oil painting was patently obvious in Lucifer. From the looks of its imagery, Lucifer begun in a similar vein to works of the previous year such as Eyes in the Heat. However, at some point in the process of painting, Pollock laid down his brush and began instead to drip and spatter his pigment, not quite completely covering the underlayer, into which he also embedded small pieces of gravel to increase the texture.
