Lavender Mist: No.1

Jackson Pollock(1912-1956) is an American born artist who created a series called drip paintings he molded from his experimentation of abstractionism and expressionism. The painting as displayed above is the first in a many series of drip paintings. The artist was more obsessed with the process of the painting than the final result, thus created the surprising balanced works. Pollock died from a fatal car crash in 1956, a suicide attempt while being intoxicated. Little is known from the artist.
