Created in 1938, Composition with Oval Forms is an early work by Jackson Pollock, one of the most influential figures in Abstract Expressionism. This piece predates his iconic drip paintings and reflects his artistic development under the influence of Surrealism, Symbolism, and the Mexican muralists.

Unlike his later, more spontaneous gestural works, this composition features structured forms, primarily overlapping ovals, arranged in a way that suggests movement and tension. The choice of biomorphic shapes and the earthy, muted color palette align with Pollock’s interest in Carl Jung’s theories of the unconscious mind, which played a key role in shaping his visual language.

At this stage in his career, Pollock was heavily inspired by Pablo Picasso, particularly his Synthetic Cubist works, as well as by the automatism techniques of Surrealists like Joan Miró and André Masson. The controlled yet organic nature of the ovals suggests an early exploration of automatic drawing, a practice that would later evolve into his signature energetic style.

Pollock’s work from the late 1930s also reflects his struggles with personal turmoil and self-discovery. As he sought his own artistic voice, he experimented with mythological and primal imagery, seen in the underlying structure of Composition with Oval Forms. The piece serves as a transitional work, bridging his early figurative influences with the radical abstraction that would define his career in the 1940s and 1950s.

Today, Composition with Oval Forms is an important insight into Pollock’s artistic evolution, showcasing his early explorations of form, subconscious expression, and movement, elements that would later become central to his revolutionary drip painting technique.
