Jackson Pollock has been known for his very unique style and way of painting. His style is very abstract and he accomplished this technique by using rapid, impulsive brush movements. Pollock would place the canvas on the floor instead of using a traditional easel. He splashed the paint on the Canvas, and would use all sorts of utensils for applying the paint, such as sticks, towels, knives, and paint cans themselves. Pollock would poke a hole in the bottom of the can and let the paint run out onto the canvas through the hole.
Jackson Pollock became interested in the method of art done in primitive cultures and he was very fascinated in the Native American Navajo sand painters and their method of working. They would work on the ground with many different colors of sand that they would sprinkle around to make abstract designs.
Pollock had a very innovative, and he would approach art from every angle. Pollock would not just stand back and analyze his work, he would get in it and touch it and mess with it. In some of Pollocks works, foot prints would be visible from where he stepped on it. Pollock was all about showing feelings and emotions instead of making something look real.
