Full Fathom Five by Jackson Pollock, 1947, Oil on canvas with nails, tacks, buttons, coins, cigarettes, etc, 50 7/8 x 30 1/8 in
From Shakespeare’s The Tempest:
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong,
Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong, bell.
