TRANSCRIPT
Jackson Pollack was the first abstract American painter to
be taken seriously in Europe.
Jackson was known as the “all over” painter because he would pour paint
rather than using brushes and a palette. He would spread his canvas across the floor and would drip and
dribble with complete control.
Jackson and his Paintings!
• Known as an action painter
• His paintings would come alive
with colored scribble,
spattered lines, and all sizes of
lines.
• Jackson was influenced by
Native American sand paintings made by thin
lines of colored sand onto a
horizonal surface.
