This Artist is one my favorites and you will know him- Paul Jackson Pollock was born on January 28, 1912 in Cody, Wyoming, died August 11, 1956, East Hampton, New York. His mother, Stella May McClure, was a fierce woman with artistic ambitions. His father, LeRoy Pollock, was a farmer and a government land surveyor.
In 1928 they moved to Los Angeles, where Pollock enrolled at Manual Arts High School. There he was influence of Frederick John de St. Vrain Schwankovsky, a painter and illustrator. Schwankovsky gave Pollock some rudimentary training in drawing and painting, introduced him to advanced currents of European modern art,
In the fall of 1930 Pollock followed his brother Charles, who left home to study art in 1922, to New York City, where he enrolled at the Art Students League
he suffered a nervous breakdown in 1938, which caused him to be institutionalized for about four months. After these experiences, his work became semi abstract and showed the assimilation of motifs from the modern Spanish artists Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró
