Jackson Pollock was a part-time artist and full-time falling-down drunk. He originated the "Graine de l'homme" painting style, "Graine de l'homme" being French for "Moose diarrhea". Pollock intended his paintings as a drunken joke, and was taken completely by surprise when a bunch of fancy-pants New York art snobs started calling him a genius. He needed beer money, however, so he went along with it and did his best to be somewhat sober during exhibitions. This article is a stub.

abstract
  • Pollock was extremely influential in the development of "smmatternist" art, which is part of the general madernist movement away from drawing actual giraffes and towards making randomly colored puddles that represent Giraffes torn asunder by the immense gravity of a neutron star, dripped in green and red paint, which was actually one of Pollock's more well-known pieces. For this sort of meta-artistry, Pollock is rightfully considered to be many things, none of which are good or respectable. Later in life Pollock extended his Smmatternist dabbling into various other fields. The farmers who own these fields promptly told Mr. Pollock to exit their fields, which he did with little incident or fanfare.
