Jackson Pollock - Contemporary Great Masters 6

Volume 6 of Kodansha’s "Contemporary Great Masters" series, introducing the work of Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), a representative painter of 20th-century American art.

By placing his canvases on the floor and dripping, pouring, and splashing paint, Pollock moved away from the traditional act of "painting," incorporating his physical movements directly into the work.

This innovative production method later became known as "dripping" or "action painting," and became one of the symbolic expressions of Abstract Expressionism.

This book contains numerous color plates, focusing on Pollock's representative works. It serves not only as a collection of his art but also as an introductory book to help readers understand the historical background of the great changes in 20th-century American art.
