FAQ About Role of Jackson Pollock in Abstract Expressionism
How did Jackson Pollock's drip technique work?
Jackson Pollock's drip technique involved laying a canvas on the floor and using brushes or sticks to drip, splash, or pour paint onto it from above. This technique allowed him to approach painting from all angles and to physically engage with his work, creating highly dynamic compositions. The resulting images are characterized by hectic, intricate layers of paint that combine to form a complex web of colors and lines, often without a clear central focus, emphasizing movement and the energy of creation.
