Jackson Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming, in America in 1912. Pollock studied in the High School of Arts, Los Angeles, but he left there without graduating. Then, he went to study at New York Art College. Throughout his life his work has shown the influence of Renaissance Art, Mexican murals and Picasso’s Cubist art. In order to create his work, he does not create paintings in the traditional way – he places a canvas on the floor and scatters paint using a piece of wood. These pieces of work are an exploration of dance movements. Pollock often dances around the canvas, and lets the paint drip. Pollock died in 1956 in a car accident. www. gcad-cymru. org. uk

((1871 -1958) • The Italian artist, Giacomo Balla, was one of the founders of Futurism • Futurism was very fond of machines and things that moved, such as cars. • The racing car was very important during this movement, and the futurists’ early pictures showed things moving. • In his work Girl Running on the Balcony, Balla was trying to show movement by showing the girl’s legs running. • Other works such as Dog on a Leash, showed speed by putting a number of images on top of one another. • After futurism, cinematography (the cinema) came to take its place by showing pictures that really moved. • Futurism came to an end with the First World War.

Futurism A modern art movement that started with Italian artists in 1909, finishing at the end of the First World War. Futurism liked machines and war and also showed things that move. Marcel Duchamp (France, 1887 -1968), the cubist and constructivist, used some of these ideas. www. gcad-cymru. org. uk
