From naming to numbering Continuing to evade the viewers search for figurative elements in his paintings, Pollock abandoned titles and started numbering his works. He said about this: ...look passively and try to receive what the painting has to offer and not bring a subject matter or preconceived idea of what they are to be looking for. Pollocks wife, Lee Krasner, said Pollock used to give his pictures conventional titles... but now he simply numbers them. Numbers are neutral. They make people look at a picture for what it is—pure painting.
