Fun! I feel like a Jackson Pollock drip and splash painting is dangling from my wrist when I carry this pretty (young) thing! It’s made in Italy of soft calfskin with applied fabric paint.
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter who pioneered the All-over style as well as the Drip and Splash style. Ed Harris’s 2001 bio-pic brought Pollock back into the public consciousness; perhaps this whimsical piece was one of the results.
This little treasure came from Loehmann’s in Manhattan.
