Some critics have suggested that Pollock began his pictures by drawing figurative, structured images which he then concealed behind a tracery of interlaced lines. Others have seen Namuth's photographs as demonstrating that Pollock's work was relatively unstructured and abstract from the very beginning. A computer-generated photocomposite, reconstructing an early state of Autumn Rhythm, reveals a definite tripartite structure to the original composition, and suggests that it may also have been figurative.
