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 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.

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 would almost dance around the painting. He had no

definite format 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. Although now his

style of Abstract Expressionism is out of fashion, Pollock had a great effect

on the history of modern art.
