    Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter known for his unique drip painting style where he would pour and fling paint onto canvases laid on the ground of his studio. This allowed line and color to exist independently without representing any concrete forms. Pollock struggled with alcoholism throughout his life but became very successful, and his paintings can now sell for millions. While his work was highly unique, some analysts argue his paintings can blend together or resemble different images depending on the viewer's perspective. Modern artists continue to debate Pollock's significant contribution to shaping American art and cultural history through his innovative approach that encouraged thinking outside conventions.

    The legacy of Jackson Pollock

    Paul Jackson Pollock was an American painter and major character in the theoretical

    expressionist movement. He was highly known because of his irreplaceable styles of drip

    painting. He struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1947, Jackson married the artist

    Lee Krasner, who later played a major role in his career and on his legacy. He used flinging and

    dripping dispersed enamel paint method onto an unstretched image laid on the ground of his own

    studio. The physical commitment with his materials applauded gravity, creativeness and velocity

    into artist progression which allowed line and color to stand alone, running wholly independently

    of form (Doss, pg. 123).

    It is a fact that Jackson Pollock had emerged to be one of an outstanding artist in the field

    of arts through his nervous breakdown and his magical sculptures that were very attractive to his

    audience. Jackson had achieved a lot through galaxies of different colors that contributed to his

    attainment beautiful paintings in his lifetime (Schreyach, pg. 186). His paintings though they

    seem to be unique compared to the paintings of other artists. According to me, Jackson Pollock’s

    paintings are worth millions. His castings, carvings as well as other sculptures he created have

    turned up into the galleries of New York.

    Many artists of the modern time have argued that Pollock has contributed to the cultural

    construction that already been accepted as the art and cultural history of American history.

    Pollock is argued to the heart of the new style and art of the America. Jackson Pollock’s

    paintings educate the artists of the modern world to open up there and try to think outside the

    box. His paintings are very educative in restoring the restoring the societal cultural norms and

    believes (Schreyach, pg. 190)

    Pollock’s paintings are one and unique when compared to others. It is a fact to mention

    that Pollock was somewhat tricky with his naming conventions especially when it came to a

    numbering of his paintings. Analysts have argued that Pollock’s paintings are amazing, magical

    and admirable. Some of them a little bit blend together when you keenly look at them. Others

    would even look like life images. It is a fact that some of his sculptures when observed at certain

    angles they resembled sun-bleached jetsam and flotsam. In addition, others tended to evoke

    bones as well as bodies as suggested by the gallery of Mathew Mark (Schreyach, pg. 187).

    Pollock’s titles of his paintings unlike the other artists, had few words when compared to

    other artists. It’s also critical to mention that Pollock adopted the use of drip painting that takes

    after many dots and touches arranged in a random manner. It is clearly understood that Pollock

    was one of the inspirers of the knowledge of sculptures. Pollock entered into the books of

    accounts in the field of arts by making objects out of curved stones, copper that was skillfully

    hammered, also casting in sand, throwing as well as hand-molding clay (Doss, pg. 122). He also

    made objects from whittling bones of cattle as well as dipping wire in the process of carving

    stones. Modern artists argue that even though the paintings of Pollock have been scrutinized,

    analyzed as well as been dramatized, they will remain to be considered as novelty items.

    However, even though Jackson Pollock had showed his sculptures at different galleries in

    USA, it is a fact that they seemed to be absent from the exhibitions/ scenes of the recent time.

    This clearly shows that there is a certain change in the field of art as many arts actually adopting

    other styles and techniques of painting even though Pollock’s sculptures and other paintings

    always remain unique and exemplary (Doss, pg. 119).
