Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter known for his unique style of abstract expressionism, where he used techniques like "drip painting." Instead of applying paint with a brush on an easel, he splattered, dripped, and poured paint onto large canvases laid flat on the ground. This approach emphasized spontaneity and movement, creating dynamic compositions that captured the energy of the artist's gestures. Pollock's work challenged traditional artistic conventions and focused on the act of painting itself, inviting viewers to engage with the emotions and raw energy conveyed through vibrant colors and complex forms.
