Jackson Pollock (artist)

Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter best known for pioneering Abstract Expressionism through his innovative "drip" painting technique. Using poured or splattered paint on large canvases placed on the ground, he emphasized the act of painting itself as a dynamic, spontaneous process. His work often features energetic, complex patterns that evoke emotion and movement. Pollock's approach challenged traditional boundaries of art, emphasizing creativity and personal expression. His groundbreaking style significantly impacted modern art, inspiring generations of artists to explore new methods and emphasize the physical act of creation.
