Jackson Pollock a world renowned abstract artist started his art career in 1929. In the 1930’s he was moved by Mexican Muralists and Surrealism. In 1947 his most well known style, “drip and splash”, emerged. Pollock would paint on large canvases on the ground, instead of easels and he would utilize different tools to paint with. Pollock would uses everyday materials such as stick, trowels, and knifes, this would give his art a special twist that the world had never seen before. On top of this Pollock would mix different materials into his paints including; ‘sand, broken glass, and other foreign materials’. Pollock left behind all older forms of art, and went into a form of Action art during the 1940’s, similar to that of surrealism. Some of his most famous paintings include; Frogman (1951), Number 7 (1952), and The Deep (1953). During the 1950’s Pollock met both applause and criticism from his peers as only certain people accepted his art. By the 1960’s though, Pollock was recognized as one of the world’s best artists at the time. Unfortunately, his career was ended early when he died in a car crash.

Disscusion- I believe that Holden is a very lonley kid who really wants to find his purpose in life. He doesn't want to stay at his school, because he doesn't want to become a poseur like the rest of them. He is lost in himself, which is why he becomes almost dependent on drugs and alcohol.
