What to look for
Jackson Pollock: drips, splatters and poured skeins of paint across the whole canvas, no centre and no figures.
Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an American painter. A major figure in the abstract expressionist movement, he was noted for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles.
