Jackson Pollock, born January 28, 1912 in Cody, Wyoming and died August 11, 1956 in Springs, New York, was an American abstract expressionist painter, known worldwide during his lifetime. Jackson Pollock produced over 700 works, including finished paintings, painted or sculpted essays, and drawings, as well as some engravings. He had a decisive influence on the course of contemporary art. The practice of all-over painting and "dripping", which he used extensively from 1947 to 1950, made him famous thanks to the photos and films of Hans Namuth, taken more or less in the heat of the action. His recognition, belated after a lifetime of destitution, coincided with the emergence of New York as the new world capital of culture, shortly after the Second World War between 1948 and 1950. Pollock was the first of the third wave of American abstract artists to finally be recognized, the first to "break the ice" (in Willem de Kooning's phrase), opening a passage into the collecting world for other artists of the New York school. In 1945, Pollock married the painter Lee Krasner, who had a decisive influence on his career and the promotion of his work. | |
