Action Painting referred to an artistic style in which the process of painting was as important as the completed picture.
In Pollock's paintings the elements of intuition and accident play a large and deliberate part, that being one of the major contributions of Abstract Expressionism, which had found its own inspiration in Surrealism's psychic automatism.
By 1947 Pollock started to experiment with all-over painting, a labyrinth of lines, splatters, and paint drips from which emerged the great "drip" or "poured" paintings of the next few years.

 WebMuseum: Pollock, Jackson
This manner of Action painting had in common with Surrealist theories of automatism that it was supposed by artists and critics alike to result in a direct expression or revelation of the unconscious moods of the artist.
The design of his painting had no relation to the shape or size of the canvas -- indeed in the finished work the canvas was sometimes docked or trimmed to suit the image.
By the mid 1940s he was painting in a completely abstract manner, and the `drip and splash' style for which he is best known emerged with some abruptness in 1947.

 E-Flux : Action Painting - (2004-11-17)
American abstract art, generally known to the public under the name of Action Painting, has complex origins and developments which, as of the early forties, lead to various spin-off currents: from abstract expressionism to the Irascible artists, the New York school and other movements that would continue their pursuits through to the seventies.
The aim of the exhibition is to create a thematic voyage — rather than a simple artistic timeline — through the Action Painting avant-garde, combined with the abstract expressionism that had such an important influence on art since the Second World War.
Together with a number of masterpieces from the New York collections, a series of sketches and drawings will make their premiere appearance in Italy, to illustrate the creative stages followed by the artist before the final painting is actually realised.

 Action Painting with Carol Ganick
He application of paint, although influenced by her extensive education in formal art and design, is prompted more by her feelings and interactions with her work on an emotional level.
So what makes Carol's style of art more interesting than, say, a painting of a vase of flowers or of a beautiful landscape, is that her work can be both - and much more.
Carol's response was that she reaches a stage in her painting when, she "stands back and reacts to it, and cannot see the need to continue."

 action painting
a style of American abstract expressionist painting typified esp. in the works of Jackson Pollack and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s, in which the furiously energetic and free application of the paint is seen as being expressive of the psychological and emotional state of the artist at the moment of creation.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts features Naked ambition
Things emerge and sink back into the paint, and while she often uses the canvas as a sort of battleground, on which gestures pile up and spill across the surface, battered by intemperate, emotive winds of inchoate feeling (to ape a bit of action painting rhetoric), it always feels, in her work, like method acting.
That is, at once, painting's strength and a frightening limitation; it is, in a nutshell, painting's difficulty.
As with the art stars of the 1980s, commentators become heady about the romantic mess of Brown's downtown Manhattan studio, her celebrity chums, the sex appearing and disappearing amid the paint, her rocketing prices, the fact that she is the daughter of the late art critic David Sylvester.

 Learn Essays about Jacson Pollock action painting
Among much else, this meant that traditional easel painting had to be abandoned in favor of something the European masters of modernism had not yet attempted to place at the center of their art—a mode of mural-scale wall painting of a radically subjective character.
It was in the scale and ambition of such painting, not in its ethos or imagery, that Pollock saw the possibility of a radical artistic opportunity.
Until well into the 1940s, Jackson Pollock’s painting remained locked in a struggle to master and overcome the influences of the European modernist painters he took as his models—primarily Picasso, Kandinsky, and Mirу.
