Research: Part 3/5 - Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock, an American painter, is famous for being an abstract painter and using drip painting. As an art major, he enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety. He struggled with alcoholism but recovered after marrying the woman he loved, Lee Kranser, which influenced his life and made him success in his legacy.

In 1936, Pollock used the liquid paint, which he used as pouring one of several techniques on canvases. His love to natural art was his main goal with his paintings. Pollock used hardened brushes, sticks, and even basting syringes as paint applicators. He thought of applying a new dimension by poring paint to his canvas from all directions.

I think that Jackson Pollock is a very talented artist because he uses the creativity of creating a new dimension in his paintings. The element of randomness is also huge in his art. I think that he is successful in creating a great amount in details in a picture that look like a mess. I would prefer if things were easier to distinguish in his paintings, but other than that, his art is great.
