Jackson Pollock(1912-1956)The chief American exponent of action painting made studies for his
apparently unpremeditated works, done on continuous lengths of canvas tacked to
the floor, and later cut up with selective care. Jackson Pollock abandoned the
use of brushes in 1947, pouring the paint straight on to the canvas, but in 1953
he began to employ brushes again. He said of his paintings (1951): 'I don't work
from drawings or color sketches. My painting is direct . . . I want to express
my feelings rather than illustrate them. When I am painting I have a general
notion of what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no
accident, just as there is no beginning and no end.'

- (Naked Man with Knife)
- Male and Female
