Jackson Pollock was an American painter,

born in 1912. He was the most famous of the American Abstract Expressionist

painters. Pollock had a very original style of painting. He often worked

outside so that he could spread his painting on the ground. He often used

materials from the surrounding environment in his paintings. He mixed sand and

broken glass into some of his works. He sometimes added cigarettes, buttons,

coins or whatever was nearby that seemed appropriate.

Jackson Pollock didn’t paint in the

‘normal’ way. Rather, he let the paint dribble from the brush and fall onto the

painting. He used cans of ordinary house paint rather than oil paint.

Pollock had an intense and energetic

style. His shocking new technique demonstrated physical movement in his work

known as ‘action painting’. Each painting was more like a performance. He had

no definite idea in mind when he began painting. He just let the paint lead the

way, apparently at random. This spontaneous approach has led some people to

think ‘My five-year-old child could do that.’ Some critics agreed – saying his

work lacks technique and simply chaotic rather than artistic. However, others

said that he had a unique style that simply cannot be copied.
