Jackson Pollock (1912-1956), American abstract painter, who developed a technique for applying paint by pouring or dripping it onto canvases laid on the floor. With this method Pollock produced intricate interlaced webs of paint, as in Black and White (1948, private collection). Rapid and seemingly impulsive execution like Pollock’s became a hallmark of abstract expressionism, a movement that emphasized the spontaneous gestures of the artist. Artwork Description: This untitled drawing belongs to the period in which Pollock's art stood on the threshold of the seemingly complete abstraction with which he would soon make his name and radically alter the nature of contemporary painting. The product of a profound inner struggle that had been ongoing since the late 1930s, Pollock's most famous works grew out of his practice of drawing on patterns and forms generated by his unconscious mind. Having been inspired by the powerful imagery of Picasso and during a period of analysis been encouraged to find his own personal archetypes and symbols as well as having investigated the ritualised practice of Navajo Indian sand painting and other Native American use of form and symbol, Pollock's art in the early 1940s became a melting pot of strange but highly totemic imagery.
