He would lay his canvas flat on the floor and work his way around the piece in much the same fashion as the Navajo people create their large scale sand paintings. Pasiphae,1943

  11. jackson pollock abstract expressionism Pollock would use industrial and enamel paints that would dry very quickly on the canvas. This allowed him to build up many layers into a densely woven pattern. Harold Rosenberg wrote an article about Jackson Pollock and some of the other Action Painters in 1952. It was this article that gave these Abstract Expressionists the title of “Action Painters”. Rosenberg’s article had much to do with the success of the American Abstract painters.
