Later he pursued his interest of art and began to study painting, drawing, and composition at the Art Students' League, New York in 1930. He was taught and influenced by a Regionalist painter named Thomas Hart Benton who had also been a teacher to Pollock's brother. Pollock worked in the Regionalist manner through the 1930's, but by the mid 1940's his style had become completely abstract and he began to use his drip style in 1947.

Schwankovsky gave Pollock some basic training in drawing and painting, introduced him to European modern art, and encouraged his interest in theosophical literature.
