Jackson Pollock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (686 words) |
 | Pollock had for several years been in psychoanalytic therapy to try and cope with depression and this gave him an interest in Carl Jung 's theory of primitive archetypes that formed the basis of his work between 1938 and 1944. |
| Pollock was able to work on large areas of canvas spread on the floor, in the process he moved away from figurative art, and developed techniques of splashing and dripping his paint onto canvas ( action painting). |
| Pollock was profiled in Time Magazine as 'the greatest living American artist' in 1951 and as part of the profile Hans Namuth produced a celebrated series of photos of Pollock at work. |
