We are looking at Jackson Pollocks art and how it relates to Holden. I think his art work and Holden relate because he is a very unique artist and Holden is a very unique character in the book. I dont know anyone that does the things that Holden does.

=**__Jackson Pollock__ Paul Jackson was an American painter who became the worlds most creative and greatest Abstract artist. What made Pollock so unique was that he did not paint like other abstract artist, he used a specific technique where he pours and drips his paint to create a odd and new type of art. Pollock started a whole new era of art style. He is also one of the first American painters to be recognized during his lifetime and after as a peer of 20th-century European masters of modern art. Like most artist Pollock had some life problems, He had a volatile personality and struggled with alcoholism all of his life. He married Lee Krasner in 1945, from then on she became an important role in his career. He was born January 28, 1912 in Wyoming and died Agust 11, 1956 in East Hampton, New York. Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related, single-car crash. **=
