Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), a pivotal figure in the development of Abstract Expressionism, transformed the trajectory of American art with his pioneering "drip" paintings. Renowned for his innovative technique of dripping or pouring paint onto a canvas laid on the ground, Pollock created energetic, chaotic and deeply expressive works that liberated the artistic process from traditional constraints. His notable pieces such as "Number 1A, 1948" and "Autumn Rhythm" symbolize the advent of "action painting," emphasizing the act of creation itself. Pollock’s works are showcased in prominent institutions worldwide, including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serving as a testament to his significant influence in the contemporary art domain.
