THE Col, one of the most important representatives of the abstract expressionism movement during the 40s and 50s, was famous for his dripping technique. In this technique, Pollock would place the canvas on the ground and drip paint onto it in a chaotic manner.
Jackson Pollock’s artistic career was cut short when he was killed in a car accident in 1956 and, according to many indications, was driving drunk.
