O obrazie
Easter and the Totem, painted in 1953 by Jackson Pollock, belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Totem-like forms stand at the sides of a canvas more than two metres tall. Pollock returned here to brushed, partly figurative imagery after pouring and dripping had ceased to dominate his work. Broad black passages and open areas of color suggest an influence from Henri Matisse.

Abandons the drip style: the “black pourings”
At the peak of his fame Pollock abruptly abandoned the drip style: after 1951 his work grew darker, including a group painted in black on unprimed canvas. These “black pourings” were shown at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, and none of them sold.

Moves to the Sidney Janis Gallery
Pollock moved to the more commercial Sidney Janis Gallery; collectors' demand for his work was great, and under this pressure, along with personal frustration, his alcoholism deepened.
