Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), known professionally as Jackson Pollock , was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting .
During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety; he was a major artist of his generation. Regarded as reclusive , he had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner , who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy.
Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related single-car accident when he was driving. In December 1956, several months after his death, Pollock was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City . A larger, more comprehensive exhibition of his work was held there in 1967. In 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London .
