Jackson Pollock was the famous artist of the 20th century who revolutionised the world of modern art with his unique abstract painting techniques.
Pollock was famous for his traditional techniques to explore abstraction expressionism via his splatter and action pieces, which involved pouring paint and other media directly onto canvases.
Pollock was both renowned and critiqued for his conventions. He died after driving drunk and crashing into a tree in New York in 1956, at age 44.

About Silver Over Black, White, Yellow, and Red
Silver Over Black, White, Yellow, and Red, 1948 will clarify his methods. The surface consists of poured lines and small drops of paint on commercially dyed dark red fabric. The sequence of colors is as follows: thin grey and white lines, a row of bold black curves, an overall intertwining of white and finally delicate pouring and touches of yellow, silver, scarlet and Indian red. Oil from the larger concentrations of black and white paint bled into the porous fabric, creating shadow-like areas of a darker red. Pollock exploited this by carefully placing drops of Indian red paint, the same color as the fabric, within these darker areas, creating a repoussoir effect that gives a lively dimensionality to what would otherwise have appeared a drab mistake. Pollock was not arbitrarily 'dripping' paint but was concerned about, and carefully controlling, his painterly effects, despite the implications of the idea of Action painting. Elements that soaked through appear there as if white were under black but appear on the front with the white on top, showing that Pollock filled in parts of the white lines so the overall aesthetic balance of lights and darks would, as he liked to say, 'work.
