I was leafing through the second edition of MOMA Highlights – 350 Works From the Museum of Modern Art New York and came across the early (1943) Jackson Pollack painting, "The She Wolf." It's a very layered, busy and disturbing image in which the editors claim "… [Pollack's] focus is a compound of mythology and an iconography of the unconscious."
However they go on to note that Pollack himself made no such assertions:
"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."
