Microscopy Technology nowadays is very advanced now and Harvard Scientists took advantage of it. Experts from Harvard University finished their research of the three pictures of Jackson Pollock. To be more correct, these pictures were supposed to be written by Pollock, but no one knew it for sure. So, the chemical analysis of the artwork showed that the paint on the canvases was created and patented after Pollock’s death, in 1956. These pictures were found in 2005 by Alex Matter in his father’s shed. His father was friends with Jackson Pollock. Harvard experts examined the pictures with the help of different techniques, including the research microscope. They determined, that the paint on the first picture didn’t exist till 1971, the paint from the second picture appeared only in 1962, and the third one was invented only in the beginning of 1986. There is a possibility that Pollock could be the author of these art works, but later on they were completed (restored).
