Khan Academy: Jackson Pollock

Curated by ACT

This video [5:13] discusses abstract expressionist, Jackson Pollock, who departed from the idea of using a brush and making brush strokes to paint a scene -- and instead, with the wooden tip of the brush, either fling or drip or spread or ooze the painting across the canvas in these ecstatic, dramatic, slow, fast, wavy straight lines that fill it from corner to corner, from top to bottom, left to right.
