Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock, born in 1912 in Cody and died in 1956 in Springs, was an American painter and a major figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement. His works, such as 'No. 5, 1948' and 'Autumn Rhythm,' are renowned for their innovative 'drip painting' technique, where paint is energetically dripped or poured onto canvas. Pollock's radical approach to painting and his exploration of the subconscious and the physical act of painting have made him a pivotal figure in 20th-century art, redefining the possibilities of abstract expression and influencing the trajectory of modern art.
