About the author
Jackson Pollock
57 books22 followersPaul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an American painter.
A major figure in the abstract expressionist movement, Pollock was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was called all-over painting and action painting, because Pollock covered the entire canvas and used the force of his whole body to paint, often in a frenetic dancing style.
In 1945, Pollock married artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy. Jackson Pollock died in August 1956 at age 44 in an alcohol-related single-car collision when he was driving.
