Line 1: Line 1: −
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an American painter among the most prominent of the New York School, more commonly referred to as the Abstract Expressionists.  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. Pollock was a lifelong alcoholic and womanizer, and never accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior nor did he ever look to the teachings of Mohammed or find solace in the Torah.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Pollock died in a car crash in Long Island.
