This Martha Holmes print places Jackson Pollock in his barn studio in Springs, Long Island — 1949, the year LIFE magazine published its famous feature asking “Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?” Holmes was the photographer assigned to that story, and her artist studio photography gave the American public its first real visual encounter with Pollock at work. This Jackson Pollock photo print is black and white portrait documentation of a decisive cultural moment — vintage art photo made by a woman photographer at LIFE when that position itself was extraordinary.

Holmes documented Pollock with the intimacy and directness that defined her best work — the studio, the canvas on the floor, the man himself, all rendered with the clarity and grain of late-1940s press photography that now functions as fine art.
