The mind-boggling art of MC Escher, Jackson Pollock unleashed in Liverpool and China's last 'lotus feet'
Plenty of art to mess with your mind this week, from Jackson Pollock’s abstract splashing, to MC Escher’s impossible staircases. We were also gripped by Jo Farrell’s portraits of the last women in China with bound feet – all in your weekly art dispatch
Jackson Pollock
Most of this great American painter’s life was wrecked by alcohol, until he broke free with the aid of a sensitive doctor into his glorious era of free abstract splashing and pouring. Then it all went wrong again. This exhibition explores the dark, imagistic works of Pollock’s final troubled years before the car crash that killed him in 1956.
Tate Liverpool, Liverpool, 30 June-18 October.
