Jackson Pollock was an american painter most famous for his method of drip painting in which he would secure a canvas to the floor and sling paint all over it using everything from sticks to knives except paint brushes. He painted without concern to the size of the canvas being known to cut of parts of the canvas to fit the painitng. He helped ussher in a new style of painting with his uniqe methods.
This piece of his is called Cathedral
He is kinda strange. I read an article one time that said that he threw the paint with some sort of mathematical equation and that the paintings weren't just for fun. In one of his paintings they have even found his name in the splatter.
