Taccio quando ho paura di sentirmi dire ciò che non vorrei sentire, taccio quando ogni parola sarebbe superflua, taccio per non essere ferita, taccio sempre … e non va bene.

A #SundaySentence fragment:

. . . so that at first sight of her you felt a kind of shock of gratitude just for being alive and being male at the same instant with her in space and time, and then in the next second and forever after a kind of despair

Auf einem Tisch in einem Café liegt ein Pfannkuchen und steht ein Glas mit Kaffee. Auf einer Bank am Fenster liegen Kissen. Im Hintergrund eine Dönnerbude und die UBahngleise an der Schönhauser Allee auf denen gerade eine UBahn vorbei fährt.

World War II and its aftermath were at the underpinnings of the movement that became known as Abstract Expressionism. 

Arriving in New York in 1930, Pollock began working with figuration of both human and imaginary beings. Most of this imagery was connected to that of American Indian sand painting and Mexican. His first fully mature works, between 1942-47, use an idiosyncratic iconography he developed in part as a response to Surrealism, popular in New York with its numerous European exiles from World War II. Employing mythical subject matter, calligraphic markings, and a vibrant and distinctive color palette, Pollock produced emotionally charged works that retain figurative subject matter yet emphasize abstract qualities.

The year 1943 proved to be a watershed year for Pollock, principally due to his introduction to Peggy Guggenheim, who had opened her New York gallery Art of This Century the year before. Encouraged by Marcel Duchamp and Matta, among others, Guggenheim offered Pollock a monthly stipend, which allowed him to devote all his time to painting. In this same year he had his first solo show at the gallery. 

Among the works from this period, "Two" (1943–45), depicts a figurative subject in emblematic, abstract terms derived from various sources, among them tribal painting and Pablo Picasso’s Cubist works. Rapidly applied strokes of thick black paint harshly delimit the two totemic figures. A columnar figure on the left, probably male, faces the center. Black contours only partially delineate the white and flesh colored areas that signify his body, as Pollock separates and liberates line from a descriptive function. The figure on the right, possibly female, bends and thrusts as it approaches the static figure on the left, a sexual union of the two is implied at the juncture of their bodies in the center of the canvas. Brought together in agitated union, the two figures suggest the primacy of the male and the female in the genesis of human life.
