Pollock was a well known action painter. What did this mean to him? Question 2 options:

He used aggressive brushwork and bold colors to create emotional, provocative imagery.

Typically he typically stretched the material across a wood frame, treated the surface with gesso, and placed it upright on an easel.

He was talented at sports and enjoyed being able to be active within painting versus standing or sitting still to paint

He could walk onto the canvas, become a part of it and improvise as he went, not planning anything about the piece before hand

Based on the fact that Pollock is described as an action painter, then we can say that:

This refers to the use of aggressive brushstrokes in order to create a direct and dynamic art which makes use of spontaneous application of paint instead of careful, measured usage.

very interesting question. i'm a guy, so my vote hardly matters, but blue according to my wife is a purple with more blue than red.

the "brown"   is not mauve. that's the tough one. it has more brown the mauve in it. you almost need a color wheel to tell or a paint sample book. her gloves are a deeper purple.

i would also qualify this by saying you need say how good your monitor is. i'm working with a lap top so i couldn't swear by anything i've written is accurate. i had 3 women offer an opinion. they were not in agreement and they were not certain.

for posting. i'm more of a math type so i'm staying out of this but it was lots of fun.
