Opaque in some areas, transparent in others, these layers create the impression of a king of pocketed space, containing many volumes instead of a single large one. This is the specific quality that distinguishes the alloverness of Pollock's work from that found in Claude Monet or Piet Mondrian. The laminar arrrangement of superimposed layers is radically different from the flat, decorative panels of the Indian Space painters, and also from the unified stage space that persists, behind the scrim of the interlace, in Picasso's Le peintre et son modèle, and in the countless works deriving from it.
Pollock's laminar space, in tandem with his use of the drip technique, created the impression that his paintings were random and uncomposed. It was not alloverness per se that was shocking. It was, rather, Pollock's refusal to locate his calligraphic forms either on a single plane or in a coherent unified space. Since Cubism, viewers had become accustomed to the breakup of the object. But Pollock proposed an unprecedented fragmentation of space, marking a decisive advance beyond Picasso and the Shool of Paris.
