JACKSON POLLOCK Convergence (physical description) "A rebellious spirit, Pollock evolved this approach to painting only ten years before his death. Although he insisted that he had absolute control, his compositions consisted of what appeared to be totally unfettered dripping and spilling of paint on to huge canvases placed on the floor. His work, often called action painting, elicits a sense of tremendous energy, actually transmitting the action of paint application to the respondent through a new concept of line and form."
