Who is Jackson Pollock?

16. Jackson Pollock
Not everyone is a fan of this artist's work, but I will say that "Autumn Rhythm" is a nicely balanced piece. While it is what you might essentially call "splatter art", Pollock managed to achieve a sense of lively movement and expressive animation. The Seattle Art Museum has one of his paintings ("Sea Change") on display in their permanent collection. Check it out on a free first Thursday.
