Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American painter among the most prominent of the New York School, more commonly referred to as the Abstract Espressionists. His major innovation was to paint unstretched canvas rolled out on the floor, working from all sides of the picture plane, pouring and throwing paint to create a line that re-encompasses itself over and over again without generating a positive and negative form. Known as "Jack The Dripper", many say that he began the current decadent phase of American art. Like all of his contemporary's, he was very irresponsible and an alcholic.
