Above are two bird images from one of Pollock's psychoanalytical drawings. This series of drawings is good to study in order to see the “raw” Pollock. In these drawings, there is very little argument concerning intent of representation. It is in this series that Pollock's images appear as whole and his progression into abstraction can be seen as a kind of melting process.

It seems to me that Pollock, early on, developed his bag of images. It's as if he drug those images from the beginning, and they degraded with the years and the miles of dragging, yet they continually resurfaced on Pollock's work, despite their degradation. With age they became wiser perhaps, or had no choice but “to be” because Pollock only had one bag of images, and a big bag of technique.
