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 is simply chaotic rather than artistic. However,

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