Jackson Pollock, Art for Abstract Expressionism

Jackson Pollock was one of my favorite artist which really inspired me a lots.
i love the style of his drawing pieces which is really have the power, rhythm, even softness in a same time.
The style and the uniquely dripping skill of he create is so free yet powerful.
he do have a lots of work even the exhibition of he is totally freak for some of the people.
He is totally one of the gorgeous artist which can represent Abstract Expressionism.

Jackson Pollock in action.

Jackson Pollock, (American, 1912-1956).
Pollock was introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936, at an experimental workshop operated in New York City by the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros.
Pollock's technique of pouring and dripping paint is thought to be one of the origins of the term Action Painting.With this technique, Pollock was able to achieve a more immediate means of creating art, the paint now literally flowing from his chosen tool onto the canvas. By defying the conventional way of painting on an upright surface, he added a new dimension, literally, by being able to view and apply paint to his canvases from all directions.

Quote :

"When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well. "
