Virtual Encounter via Zoom / Jackson Pollock: Action Painting (in Hebrew)
Due to the current national security situation, the Museum will be closed to the public. Most activities in physical spaces are postponed until further notice, except for a few events (free of charge, but advance registration is required).
We are all going through extremely trying times. In a bid to help, however modestly, we continue to offer, for the fifth week running, an hour of respite, by providing captivating lectures and encounters every day, free of charge, via Zoom.
This week we will recall past exhibitions at the Museum, get to know some of the beloved works in its collection, and visit important collections around the world. We invite you, the culture-loving public, to enjoy an hour of curiosity.
We wish everyone days of peace.

Jackson Pollock: Action Painting / Lecturer: Tal Lanir, Associate Curator for Special Projects
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American painter who won international recognition as one of the fathers of Abstract Expressionism. He is best known for his “action paintings” produced by a technique of dripping paint. Pollock’s paintings initially sparked much controversy, but his unique style gained him growing recognition as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. In this talk, we will get to know his work and conduct an in-depth analysis of his 1946 painting Earth Worms, that is kept in the collection of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
Note: This activity is in Hebrew only.
