This is Jackson Pollock's Number 1, also referred to as Lavender Mist. he created this painting in a way that was relatively new to this time. He put the canvas he was painting on the floor and walked around it splattering paint onto it in different patterns that are invisible to the eye unless it is being x-rayed to be able to see the different color patterns and things he did purposely to his paintings. While painting this, he used his entire body to paint. He did not simply paint this using his hand, his wrist, his fingers, and his shoulder, but he walked around on top of it and moved his body in different ways to create what we see here today.

Several later architectures and artists kept alive Pollock's emphasis on the process of painting and creating. He didn't care what the end result looked like, because he wanted to represent moreso the process he went through while creating his pieces.

Allan Kaprow, a painter published a book entitled The Legacy of Jackson Pollock where he talks about the usage of everyday materials for making art and demands a concrete art much like Pollock. Many others have written books about Jackson Pollock. Here is a cover of one of the books.

 

Another painter Helen Frankenthaler also used this type of painting when she worked. Below is one of her major works of art called Mountains and Sea, which she created in 1952 and was made to look like water color, though it was made using oil paints. She, too, painted on an uncised canvas so that the oil in the paint would seep into the surrounding areas adding to the look of the painting.
