His experimentations led to the development of his famous "drip" technique, in which he energetically drew or "dripped" complicated linear rhythms onto enormous canvases, which were often placed flat on the floor. He sometimes applied paint directly from the tube, and at times also used aluminum paint to achieve a glittery effect. His vigorous attack on the canvas and intense devotion to the very act of painting led to the term "action painting."

Pollock, JacksonBorn Jan. 28, 1912, in Cody, Wyo., died Aug. 12, 1956, in East Hampton, N.Y. American painter. Pollock studied in Los Angeles from 1925 to 1929 at the Manual Arts High School and in New York from 1929 to 1931 at the Art Students League. His teacher in New York was T. H. Benton. After 1940 he turned to abstract art, becoming one of the leaders of its “Pacific school.” Pollock’s work is an extreme expression of irrationalism and of abstract expressionism’s principle of “spontaneous form creation.” To imitate random color-istic and linear effects, Pollock painted by dripping, that is, he applied his colors without a brush. REFERENCETomassoni, I. J. Pollock. [Florence, 1968].Pollock, (Paul) Jackson(1912–56) painter; born in Cody, Wyo. He grew up in Wyoming and California, moved to New York City, and studied intermittently with Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League (c. 1929–32). His paintings of the 1930s, such as Birth (1937), anticipate the turbulent impasto and sexual imagery of his later work. His first major exhibition was organized by Peggy Guggenheim (1943) when he was using mythological themes, as seen in The She Wolf (1943). Around 1946 he settled in Easthampton, Long Island, and began his critically acclaimed abstract work exemplified by Full Fathom Five (1947). The spatter-and-drip technique used on his large canvases (1945–55) established his reputation as a major abstract expressionistic painter. He explored figurative studies, but shortly before his death in an automobile accident, he reclaimed his interest in action painting.Jackson Pollock
