Pollock developed his abstract style of "drip" (or action) painting in 1947, earning him the knickname 'Jack the Dripper'. However, his early paintings were influenced by more traditional styles of figurative work. During his teens, he attended art college in New Yorjk as a student of Thomas Hart Benton, who kindled his interest in Regionalism during the 1930’s. Later on he was inspired by Rivera, Orozco and Siquieros, the Mexican Muralist painters, as well as certain aspects of Surrealism. By the time he was 35 years old, he was painting in a completely abstract manner.

His style of painting avoided any identifiable parts within the whole canvas and therefore abandoned the traditional idea of composition in terms of relations among parts. The design of his paintings had no relation to the size or shape of the canvas and the finished work was often docked or trimmed to suit the image. These uniquely combined characteristics and his inventive style were direct influences for the new American painting that developed in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Though strongly supported by advanced critics, he was also subject to much abuse and sarcasm. Pollock’s premature death in a car accident sealed his legendary status.
