Jackson Pollock is most famous for his work done by “dripping”. He put his canvas on the floor and dripped, poured or threw his paint onto it. He was dubbed the father of “action painting” or Abstract Expressionism.
Pollock said that he wanted to create art that was a visual representation of the motion and energy of his "inside world." He was once asked why he did not paint pictures of objects people could identify. He answered that if you wanted to see a flower, you could go look at a real one.
He was very controversial in his time, but now his works sell for millions of dollars each.
