{"title":"Drip painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe painting technique known as \"Drip painting\" revolutionized 20th-century art, becoming a distinctive mark of Abstract Expressionism. Used by Janet Sobel and popularized by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jackson-pollock\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJackson Pollock\u003c\/a\u003e in the 1940s, this technique involves letting paint drip from a brush or can directly onto a canvas placed on the floor, allowing gravity and the artist's body movement to guide the application of color. Inspired in part by the automatic techniques of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/surrealism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSurrealism\u003c\/a\u003e, \"Drip painting\" sought to free subconscious creativity and express deep emotions without the constraints of traditional forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting technique significantly influenced the development of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/expressionism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAbstract Expressionism\u003c\/a\u003e , a movement that sought to convey feelings and internal states through abstract and dynamic forms. Besides Pollock, artists like Lee Krasner and Willem de Kooning adopted and adapted this technique, contributing to the richness and diversity of the movement. The impact of \"Drip painting\" extended beyond Abstract Expressionism, influencing later movements like \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-art\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePop Art\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minimalism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMinimalism\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Drip painting\" also left an indelible mark on contemporary art, inspiring artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis, who experimented with similar techniques to explore new forms of expression. In the context of art science, dripping has been the subject of studies analyzing the physics of paint flow and the gestural control of the artist, revealing the complexity behind its apparent spontaneity. This technique challenged the conventions of traditional painting and also opened new possibilities for artistic experimentation and self-expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"uno-numero-31-jackson-pollock","title":"One: Number 31, 1950 by Jackson Pollock","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"One: Number 31, 1950,\" created by Jackson Pollock in 1950, is a representative work of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/expressionism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eexpressionism\u003c\/a\u003e abstract, a movement that broke with traditional pictorial conventions through the use of innovative techniques and approaches.

The painting becomes a space of confrontation and release, where the act of creation functions almost as a physical and emotional discharge.
