| The most famous of the Abstract Expressionist
painters, Pollock is also considered one of the greatest artists of the
20th century. With his poured abstractions—made by dripping, flinging,
pouring, and puddling paint onto canvases tacked to the floor—he expanded
the definition of what a painting could be and how it could be made. His
paintings are pure energy, without beginning or end. |
