Jackson Pollock revolutionized abstract expressionism with his wild, chaotic “drip” technique. Instead of using a brush, he flung, poured, and dripped paint onto canvases spread on the floor, creating dynamic, high-energy masterpieces.

But Pollock didn’t stop at paint—he mixed in sand, glass, and even cigarette butts for texture. His materials were as unconventional as his method, often using house paint instead of traditional oils. 

Inspired by Native American sand art, his process was more than painting; it was a performance, each piece capturing raw movement and emotion.
