Jackson Pollock - Style of Art: Abstract Expressionism

Notes OR ______________________

“ When I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It’s only after a sort of “get acquainted period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.”

American painter. Born: ________ Died:_________ (in a car crash)

Pollock was the first “all over” painter, who poured his painted rather than brush it. He “danced in ecstasy over canvases spread across the floor, lost in the patternings, dripping and dribbling with total control.”

Famous painting: “Lavendar Mist” 1950. Unusual because the painter “signed” it with his ________________in the lower corner.
