Sobre el cuadro
Lavender Mist is a painting by Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock. It is a classic example of his poured (or “drip”) style of painting. Painted in the summer of 1950, it was first exhibited later that year at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City. As art historian Gail Levin writes, “Running from 28 November through 16 December 1950, the exhibition included thirty-two works, several of them now considered Pollock's best: Autumn Rhythm, Lavender Mist, and One.” Lavender Mist has been in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., since 1976.

Hans Namuth photographs and films Pollock at work
In 1950 the young photographer Hans Namuth photographed and filmed Pollock at work.
