Since its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, action painting has become closely

associated with Jackson Pollock, the abstract expressionist painter who began

experimenting with this technique after taking his canvas off the easel and

laying it down on the floor. According to Pollock, maneuveringaround the canvas

on the floor allowed him to get lost in the painting. Photographer HansNamuth,

who once had the possibility to observe Pollock's action painting, described it

asdancing. He said Pollock gradually picked up speed as he circled the canvas,

flinging black,white, and rust-colored paint off his brush until the canvas was

covered, a tangle of splashesand splatters and drips.
