Which artist was a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement?

• Jackson Pollock:Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter, and the leading force behind the abstract expressionist movement in the art world. He was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was called action painting, since he covered the entire canvas and used the force of his whole body to paint. In 2016, Pollock's painting titled Number 17A was reported to have fetched $200 million in a private purchase.
