Jackson Pollock
Characteristics of Pollock's Behavioral Painting Pollock is the originator of American Behavioral Painting. This free and unrestrained, amorphous abstract painting style has become the embodiment of Americans' spirit of opposing bondage and advocating freedom. This brand-new painting embodies the artist's amazing creativity.
? It fully embodies the novelty and originality of two aspects. First, the composition style of "Man". We know that in the past, there was always a visual center that attracted much attention. Whether it is the so-called "closed" classical painting or the "open" baroque painting, there are differences between the core image and the foil image. Now, in Pollock's picture, this difference has disappeared without a trace, and the so-called picture center has completely disappeared.
The picture is boundless, spread out in all directions, and there is no primary or secondary. This unfocused, full-picture painting has enabled Pollock to develop to an unprecedented degree of freedom in painting. Because of this, Pollock's painting method is "praised as the most striking new invention in the painting space after Picasso and Braque's analytical cubism painting in 19 1."

? Secondly, painting becomes a direct record of the painter's behavior dominated by emotion. "every piece of pollock's work is not easy to draw ... when he paints, he is addicted to terrible fanaticism." And his rhythmic free movement in the process of painting left traces on the huge canvas spread on the floor. He didn't know in advance what the finished work would look like, so he cut a piece as needed after painting and stretched it on the frame.
? Rosenberg, an art critic, called this kind of painting "action painting", which means that the painter is not presenting a painting here, but the whole process of his painting action. Canvas has become the place and record of artists' actions. Impression: Pollock and Wu Guanzhong may be related. 1946, Pollock began to use the "drop ink method" to create, which is somewhat similar to the splash ink of Chinese painting (he is also one of the abstract painters influenced by oriental culture, especially China calligraphy art), that is, to dilute the color of oil paintings or directly use pigments, and drop or splash them on the canvas with a pen or spoon. Pollock's dripping paintings randomly hide dramatic accidental effects, full of passion and freedom, color tension and wildness. In addition, he does not stick to one pattern. In the process of painting, sand, broken glass and sundries dare to paint. In the seemingly random splash, the wild and tense color lines have their own logic, and the painter improvises and deliberately arranges the rhythm of visual music while moving. The originality of his techniques and unique visual effects brought great shock to American art in the 1950s, and he was regarded as the beginning of the era of American abstract art, which was not influenced by Europe, and a symbol of American freedom spirit. Therefore, he became one of the most influential artists in the world in the 20th century.

Style of works
The significance of Pollock's action painting lies in the following aspects: firstly, it has changed the traditional concept of easel painting, and painting is no longer an aesthetic design, but a carrier for people's inner domination; Painting is no longer a symbolic expression of emotion through images or forms, but a direct record of the painter's emotional diarrhea. Second, the space of painting has been changed, and action painting has no foreground and background. The traditional composition relationship has disappeared, and all spatial relationships have disappeared. This is a painting with the participation of artists. Third, the picture has no theme, no center, no primary and secondary, and it is boundless. Painting is just one piece of this boundless whole, and this kind of painting can be divided at will.
? Pollock was a pioneer of abstract expressionism and one of the most influential artists in the 20th century. He is famous for throwing paint and flowing lines on canvas at will, and his works often have unforgettable natural qualities.
? The magical effect created by Pollock's painting has almost nothing to do with the pen and canvas he used. His painting has completely replaced the creation itself, and it is a creative form similar to the performing arts.
Pollock's oil paintings have a pleasant aesthetic feeling because they conform to the fractal law like irregular things in nature. The so-called fractal means that the part and the whole have the same shape. When we observe the coastline, we will be surprised to find that part of the coastline is the same as the whole coastline, which is fractal, and this fractal art is everywhere in nature.
