A look at the celebrated "spatter-and-drip" artist who made a major contribution to abstract expressionism. With his canvas laying flat on the floor, Pollock would slosh paint on it in trickles that would dribble, disguising the "beginning" or focus point, and leading the eye in a frenzy over the colorful design. Macho and misunderstood, Jackson Pollock, who studied under Thomas Hart Benton, is one of American art's most tragic legends. He died in a car crash at age 44 in 1956.
