Resumen de Sketchbook III: Jackson Pollock's homage to the old masters
The writer presents evidence of the links between the drawings in Jackson Pollock's Sketchbooks I and II with that of Sketchbook III, demonstrating that Pollock took images from the old masters and suggesting that the previous dating of this sketchbook to 1938–41 is contestable and that an earlier date of 1937–39 is more apposite. The identified sources, in which the long-recognized Mexican influence is only one strand, show the book as having a far more complex and sustained dialectic approach, encompassing a variety of influences, not least that of the old masters.
