Biography: Jackson Pollock was born in 1912 in Cody, Wyoming. He died in 1956 at the age of 44 in Springs, New York. When he was 18, he moved to New York City to study art at the Art Students League, where Thomas Hart Benton was one of his teachers. Influenced by Native American sand painting, Pollock was one of the initiators of the Action Painting school of the Abstract Expressionist art movement. Action Painting involves the dripping, pouring, and throwing of liquid paint, as opposed to the more traditional forms of painting using brushes. Pollock was also influenced by the "white writing" paintings of Mark Tobey, as well as by the European modern abstract painters Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miro. In 1956, a feature on him in Life Magazine raised Pollock to the attention of the American public, although his artistic reputation is largely built on works he created in the late 1940s. Other prominent Abstract Expressionist painters include Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, and Willem de Kooning. After a long struggle with alcoholism, Pollock died at the height of his fame in a drunk driving accident in 1956. Check out our

A Serigraph is created when paint is 'pushed' through a silkscreen onto paper or canvas. A different screen is used for each color in the print, and this results in a print with great color density and many qualities of the original piece in terms of color saturation. This process also adds some texture to the final product.
