The exhibition documents Charles Pollock’s full career, with most of the material (art and documents, some of it never before exhibited) being loaned by the Charles Pollock Archive, Paris, thanks to the Pollock family. Additional loans will come from members of the Pollock family, from the Archives of American Art/Smithsonian Institution, and other Institutions and private collections. Early letters, photos and sketches will document the relations between Charles and Jackson.

Charles Pollock’s Chapala series refers to a sojourn in 1955-56 in a small village in Mexico, Ajijic on Lake Chapala. Like other artists of the New York school, including his younger brother Jackson, Pollock switched in the 1940s from painting realistic illustrations of American life to an abstract language. This painting, in which chance and design, freedom and control are held in elegant and expressive balance, has a pulsating, breathing life of its own.
