That gave them a unique chemical fingerprint for the color, which they pinpointed as manganese blue.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/10.1073\/pnas.2513166122\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">published Monday<\/a> in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first confirmed evidence of Pollock using this specific blue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really interesting to understand where some striking color comes from on a molecular level,&#8221; said study co-author Edward Solomon with Stanford University.<\/p>\n<p>The pigment manganese blue was once used by artists, as well as to color the cement for swimming pools. It was phased out by the 1990s because of environmental concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Previous research had suggested that the turquoise from the painting could indeed be this color, but the new study confirms it using samples from the canvas, said Rutgers University&#8217;s Gene Hall, who has studied Pollock&#8217;s paintings and was not involved with the discovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m pretty convinced that it could be manganese blue,&#8221; Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also went one step further, inspecting the pigment&#8217;s chemical structure to understand how it produces such a vibrant shade.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists study the chemical makeup of art supplies to conserve old paintings and catch counterfeits. They can take more specific samples from Pollock&#8217;s paintings since he often poured directly onto the canvas instead of mixing paints on a palette beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this artistic mystery, researchers explored the paint using various scientific tools &#8211; similarly to how Pollock would alternate his own methods, dripping paint using a stick or using it straight from the can.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/16\/48fa8e47-edce-44c0-ae5e-bae60c40c8e0\/thumbnail\/620x413\/5225ef8b1e037d6c66abb362cf7124b1\/ap25255790411676.jpg#\" alt=\"Jackson Pollock Painting \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/16\/48fa8e47-edce-44c0-ae5e-bae60c40c8e0\/thumbnail\/620x413\/5225ef8b1e037d6c66abb362cf7124b1\/ap25255790411676.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/16\/48fa8e47-edce-44c0-ae5e-bae60c40c8e0\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/b2a8bcca860b886492dc3a23ea674e97\/ap25255790411676.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">In this photo provided by researchers, lasers are used to determine a chemical fingerprint of samples of the blue paint from the Jackson Pollock painting &#8220;Number 1A, 1948&#8221; in Stanford, Calif., on Jan. 30, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Alexander Heyer \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the study, researchers call the artwork &#8220;a quintessential example of his action painting technique where ropes of color, drips of black, and pools of white coalesce into the layered dynamism that defines his style.&#8221;\u00a0 While the artist&#8217;s work may seem chaotic, Pollock rejected that interpretation.
