    Jackson Pollock is the American artist famous for laying the canvas on the floor and dripping the paint from a bucket using a stick. He called this innovative technique "drip painting." Pollock stood at the forefront of Abstract Expressionism to the point that his name has become nearly synonymous with the movement. He was deeply respected by his contemporaries, and Pollock’s paintings, prints and other art — as well as his commitment to the work — influenced artists worldwide. Explore a collection of Jackson Pollock art on 1stDibs.
