forestmilk: Jackson Pollock, icon of the abstract expressionist movement, was born 100 years ago today. One of the first American artists to achieve a worldwide reputation, he’s still celebrated for radically challenging artistic conventions. “I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc.,” he said, “because the painting has a life of its own.”
