杰克逊·波洛克（Jackson Pollock，出生日期1912年1月28日，美国印第安纳州加里市人）是一位有影响力的美国艺术家以及抽象派表现主义（abstract expressionism）运动的主要力量。其名字又译做杰克森·波拉克，以巨幅的"滴色"画(如《第一号》，1948)而获殊荣。他把自己的作品题材解释为绘画自身的行动。他的创作并没有开始的草图，而只是由一系列即兴的行动完成作品。他把棍子或笔尖浸入盛着通常是珐琅和铝颜料的罐子中，然后把颜色滴到或甩到钉在地上的画布上，凭着直觉和经验从画布四面八方来作画。这些留在画布上纵横交错的颜料组成的图案具有激动人心的活力，记录了他作画时直接的身体运动，于是观众可以分享到创造这些色迹的经验。
 

杰克逊·波洛克生于怀俄明州，后来于1929年移居纽约，在托马斯·哈特·本顿（Thomas Hart Benton）门下学习。他从象征艺术上转移，并发展了一个在帆布上喷涂和滴颜料的绘画技术。他是20世纪美国抽象绘画的奠基人之一。他的作品被视为二战后新美国绘画的象征。
1938年到1942年间，他为联邦艺术工程工作；1950年代到1960年代，他通过“文化自由议会”（Congress for Cultural Freedom）受到中央情报局的支持。波洛克的创作过程与众不同，他先把画布钉在地板上或墙上，然后随意在画布上泼洒颜料，任其在画布上滴流，创造出纵横交错的抽象线条效果。波洛克有时还用石块、沙子、铁钉和碎玻璃掺和颜料在画布上摩擦。他摒弃了画家常用的绘画工具，绘画时完全摆脱受制于手腕、肘和肩的传统模式，行动即兴、随意，这种方法被称为行动绘画或抽象表现主义。

杰克逊·波洛克出生于美国的怀俄明州科迪，逝于纽约州的斯普林斯。他是纽约动作画派的领导人和抽象派的代表画家。早年在纽约市艺术学生联合学院时受业于本顿。30年代参与联邦政府艺术规划工作，二次大战后他已成为新美国绘画的象征。
1947年后，波洛克进行大幅滴洒绘画的实验，他的滴洒是一种不受控制的直觉行动，富有形体、轮廓线的压力和韵律变化。画布的每一部分都承受同等的份量，他创造了一个均匀的，没有高潮的表面，迫使眼睛在他缠结的网和团状颜料迷宫似的小径中，不断地寻觅扫视和不断地往返不息。他这种独特的风格具有自由的、忽视客观的、空间划界的特点。
波洛克创造了举世闻名的“滴画”，他的滴画成了无拘无束的美国性格的典型表现，成了抽象表现主义的经典作品。一位见过波洛克的人回忆道：“进入波洛克的画室就像进入了另外一个世界，这个艺术家把他的思想和充沛的感情完全展露在他的画室之中。画室的一边是大听大听的颜料罐子，墙上案上到处是颜色的滴痕。另一边是他的尺度巨大的作品，波洛克经常坐在前面沉思好几个钟头，他脸上的线条很硬，而且经常眉头紧锁，显然，波洛克的每一幅作品都不是轻易
画出来的。当他作画的时候，他沉湎于吓人的行动之中。”评论家称他的画为“行动绘画”，这样一来画家在画布上呈现给我们的已经不是一张画，而是在画布上的行动过程，画面成了画家行动的场所，画布成了画家行动的记录。
波洛克创立的行动绘画意义是：一，改变了传统架上绘画的观念，绘画不再是美学的设计，而成了承担由内心支配的人的运动的载体；绘画不再是通过形象或形式来象征地表现情感，却成了画家情感流泻的直接记录。二，改变了绘画的空间，在行动绘画中不再存在前景和背景，传统的构图关系消失了，一切空间关系不复存在了，是一个画家参予的画面。三，画面没有主题，没有中心，没有主次，漫无边际，绘画仅作为这无边际整体中的一块，这种绘画可以任意分割。
波洛克的画根本意义在于摆脱一切束缚，追求极端的自由和开放，它促使了人类大胆创造意识的发展。
波洛克最辉煌的时刻开始于1950年，单是这一年他就创作了《秋天的韵律》、《第三十二号，1950》两幅作品。但波洛克并不以一位成功者自居，反传统创作的精神激发了他的灵感，但自我封闭的个性加上对社会、对文化的不满，将他一次次推向痛苦的深渊。他一生穷困潦倒，终日以酒为伴。
1956年，在一场车祸中，44岁的波洛克走完了短暂的一生。

Jackson Pollock (Jackson Pollock, born January 28, 1912, Gary Indiana city) is an influential American artist and abstract expressionism (Abstract Expressionism) the main force movement. The name was translated as Jackson Pollack, in the huge "drop of color" painting (such as "first", 1948) and the award-winning. He interpreted his works as the action of painting itself. His work does not start with a sketch, but only by a series of improvised actions. He put a stick or tip is usually filled with immersion enamel and aluminum pigment pots, then the color is dropped or thrown to the nail on the canvas, intuition and experience from the canvas from all sides. Those left on the canvas of the pigment composition of the pattern is arranged in a crisscross pattern of exciting activity, recorded the movement of the body directly when he was painting, so the audience can share to create these track experience.
Jackson Pollock was born in Wyoming, later moved to New York in 1929, in Thomas Hart Benton (Thomas Hart Benton) study under. He moved from symbolic art, and developed a painting and painting on canvas. He is one of the founders of the United States in twentieth Century Abstract painting. His work is regarded as a symbol of the new American painting after the second world war.
From 1938 to 1942, he worked for the Federal Art Project; from 1950s to 1960s, he was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency (Congress for Cultural Freedom) by the cia. Pollock's creation process out of the ordinary, he first put the nail in the canvas on the floor or wall, then freely on the canvas with paint, let it drip on the canvas, creating the effect of abstract lines arranged in a crisscross pattern. Pollock sometimes with stones, sand, nails and broken glass paint on the canvas with friction. He abandoned the painter used a painting tool, completely get rid of the traditional model subject to the wrist, elbow and shoulder painting, improvisation and random, this method is called action painting or abstract expressionism.Jackson Pollock was born in the United States Cody Wyoming, died in New York springs. He is the representative painter New York action painting and abstract leaders. In the early years of the Union College art students in New York city by benton. In 30s, he participated in the work of the federal government, and after the two World War, he became a symbol of the new American painting.
In 1947, after Pollock's experiment with a trickle of painting, his dripping was a kind of non - intuitive action, full of body and contour pressure and rhythm changes. Each part of the canvas are under equal weight, he created a uniform, not the climax of the surface, forcing the eyes in his tangled net and clusters of pigment maze path, constantly looking for saccades and constantly shuttle information. His unique style has the characteristics of freedom and neglect of objective and spatial demarcation.
Pollock created the "drip painting" known to the world, his drip painting became the typical performance of unfettered American character, became the classic works of abstract expressionism. A man saw Pollock recalls: "Pollock entered the studio like entering another world, the artist put his thoughts and emotions completely revealed in his studio. The studio side is to listen to the big pot of paint, the case is full of color drop marks. The other side is the huge scale of his works, Pollock often sit in front of several hours of meditation, the lines of his face very hard, and often frown, obviously, every one of Pollock's works are not easily
Draw out. When he was working, he indulged in scary action." Critics say his paintings as "action painting", so the artist on the canvas is not a picture presented to us, but on the canvas course of action picture has become a painter action place, canvas has become a painter action record.
Pollock founded the action painting significance is: first, change the traditional concept of easel painting, painting is no longer the aesthetic design, and became a carrier borne by the inner control of human movement; painting is no longer through the image or form of symbolic expression of emotion, is a direct record of emotions out. Two, change the painting space, foreground and background no longer exist in action painting, composition of the traditional relationship disappeared, all spatial relations do not exist, is a painter in the picture. Three, there is no theme, no center, no primary and secondary, boundless, as the only painting in a marginal overall, this painting can be arbitrary segmentation.
The fundamental significance of Pollock's painting is to get rid of all the shackles, the pursuit of extreme freedom and openness, which prompted the development of human consciousness to create bold.
Pollock's most brilliant moment began in 1950, and this year alone, he created two works of "the rhythm of the fall" and "the number thirty-second, the 1950". But Pollock was not a success in itself, anti traditional creative spirit inspired his inspiration, but the self closed personality and to the society, dissatisfaction with the culture, he will again and again into the abyss of misery. His life destitute, all the day with wine.
In 1956, in a car accident, 44 year old Pollock had a short life.
