Jackson Pollock's artistic style was influenced by various factors including surrealism, Native American art, and his own psychological explorations. Pollock's unique approach, known as drip painting, emphasized spontaneity and the act of creation itself, distancing from traditional forms of representation. His use of commercial paints and unconventional techniques allowed him to express his inner turmoil and emotional depth. Pollock's revolutionary methods redefined abstract expressionism, impacting contemporary art and encouraging artists to explore personal expression and the creative process.
