POLLOCK, Jackson
1912 Cody (Wyoming) – 1956 Easthampton (New York). Abstract Expressionism
Pollock grew up in California and Arizona. In 1939 Pollock received psychiatric treatment for his alcoholism and this led him to study the works of C.G. Jung, and he became particularly interested in his theory of archetypes. His early work was abstract with elements of primitive, mostly Indian art in stylised form. In 1945 Pollock married the painter Lee Krasner. A year later he began to develop a completely new style. With this he made a name for himself, becoming a key figure in American painting. He was turning away from the conventional use of brush and easel. This he finally achieved with his "drip painting". The canvas is placed on the floor, and paint is
dribbled and splashed over it spontaneously from perforated cans. An inner tension of relaxation, a psychic automatism determines the speed, the rhythm, the action. With this, Pollock achieved the high point of his expressive energy. In 1934 he had his first one-man exhibition in New York. In 1956 he died in a car accident.
