Pollock, Jackson,1912–56,
American painter, b. Cody, Wyo. He studied (1929–31) in New York City,
mainly under Thomas Hart Benton, but he was more strongly influenced by A.
P. Ryder and the Mexican muralists, especially Siqueiros. From 1938 to 1942,
Pollock worked on the Federal Art Project in New York City. Affected by
surrealism and also by Picasso, he moved toward a highly abstract art in
order to express, rather than illustrate, feeling. His experimentations led
to the development of his famous “drip” technique, in which he energetically
drew or “dripped” complicated linear rhythms onto enormous canvases. He
sometimes applied paint directly from the tube, and he also used aluminum
paint to achieve a glittery effect. His vigorous attack on the canvas and
his devotion to the very act of painting led to the term “action painting.”
Pollock had become a symbol of the new artistic revolt, abstract
expressionism, when he was killed in an automobile accident. His paintings
are in many collections, including museums in New York City, San Francisco,
Dallas, and Chicago.
Jackson
Pollock, Contemporary American Artist. 1912 - 1956
H. S. A. A.
Born 1912 in Cody, Wyoming,
America, and became known as the most important artist of the
Abstract Expressionist movement. His main studies in art at the
age of 17 years old was under the painter Thomas Hart Benton at
the Art Student's League, New York. And in the early 1930's was
influenced by the Mexican Muralist painters Orozco and Rivera.
It was in the late 1940's that
his painting started to show the direction in art known as
abstract and the 'drip and splash' style which he would become
known throughout the world. He would place huge canvases on
the floor and then 'drip and splash colours through holes in a
paint can suspended above the canvas. His use of knives, sticks
and other various items to manipulate and blend the paint
together with adding other material such as pieces of broken
glass, sand, plaster and any other material to hand to create an
'impasto' of various thickness to achieve the effect he wanted.
This type of method became known as 'action' painting, thereby
resulting in direct expressionism of the moods of the artist.
Later in his life he would alter
the actual shape of the canvas to one of unusual
characteristics later known as the New American Painting style.
Theodore Zimmerman's family
retain four drawings of Pollock in their collection.
Jackson Pollock died in an
automobile crash in Cody in 1956 only 44 years old but was a
giant figure of American
Abstract Expressionism.
