“Jackson Pollock kept copies of at least two dozen photographs of Mercedes (Carles/Matter) that Herbert had taken on the beach of Provincetown in 1940. One is overtly erotic, showing Mercedes nude on the beach … framed with driftwood, a cliche typical of the times. The photographs probably came from Mercedes, instead of Herbert, who was hurt by his wife’s affairs but tolerated her behavior. “(Lee Krassner, A Biography)
