Jackson Pollock, The She-Wolf, 1943 @MuseumModernArt Happy Birthday Rome! New Yorkers can go to MOMA to see Jackson Pollock’s The She-Wolf in honor of Rome’s birthday today. Although Pollock only stated that “She-Wolf came into existence because I had to paint it. Any attempt on my part to say something about it, to attempt explanation of the inexplicable, could only destroy it.” I still like to think he was referring to the foundation myth of Rome and the She-Wolf who raised Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. It’s one of my favorite paintings by Pollock. MOMA website has more detailed information about the work - http://www.moma.org/m/arts/78719 -- source link
