Jackson Pollock

American Expressionist Artist, known for his "Splatter paintings".
Born in 1912, Pollock was killed in an alcohol-related car accident in 1956 at the age of 44. There is a 2000 Academy award winning movie, titled Pollock starring Ed Harris about his life.

Some examples of his work:
