What is Action Painting?

Number 1 by Jackson Pollock, 1949
Museum of Contemporary Art
in Los Angeles

Action Painting is a style of painting in which the paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied.  


"Painting is self-discovery.  Every good painter paints what he is."  Jackson Pollock
