He would be expelled from a couple of schools, including an art school, before finally pursuing his art studies in New York City where he would come into contact with the Jewish community from Eastern Europe and later meet his wife, Lena (Lee) Krasner, daughter of an Orthodox Jewish family that had immigrated to America from what is now Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year 1949 would be a paradigm-shifting moment for modern art and for his life. In 1945, Jackson and Lee, after a period of great friendship, got married and left behind the big city to live in an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/caEfNUepXon1mU8p6\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eold barn or field warehouse\u003c\/a\u003e, which they used as a studio, at the northern tip of Long Island. There, the Wyoming artist would begin a novel experimentation in 1947. In 1949, these studies would give birth to sixteen masterpieces of the painting technique known as Dripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/surrealism\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSurrealism\u003c\/a\u003e and the automatic methods of André Breton, Pollock developed his painting technique, revolutionizing the way art is understood. This technique consisted of letting the paint fall onto the canvas from above, allowing the movement of the body to guide the flow of the paint, aiming to express the subconscious and free creativity from the traditional constraints of figurative painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbstract expressionism, the movement Jackson belonged to, sought to convey emotions and internal states through abstract and dynamic forms. Among his most iconic works are \"Number 1A, 1948\" and \"\u003ca href=\"\/products\/convergence-jackson-pollock\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eConvergence\u003c\/a\u003e\", revealing to the world a capacity to create complex, vibrant, and fast-paced compositions. His influence extended to artists like Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, who also explored abstraction and emotional expression through color and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollock was also a reference point for artists of later generations, such as Richard Serra and Bruce Nauman, who continued experimenting with new materials and techniques.\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.
