Welcome to the lair of the Abstract Expressionists, the original chaos artists. We're talking Pollock, Rothko, and Kandinsky - the fathers of all things messy and abstract.
Meet Jackson Pollock, the enfant terrible of the art world. This American artist was like a tornado in a studio, splattering paint everywhere and making a mess like nobody's business.
See what the Rothko boys have to say about their mess-making mentor.Mark Rothko was the master of the 'dripping' technique, making a mess of his own by dripping, pouring, and splashing paint onto the canvas. It's a good thing he had a good insurance policy.
Read more about Rothko's love affair with mess. And don't forget about Kandinsky, the father of all things 'Abstract-Expressionist'!Wassily Kandinsky, the Russian-born artist, was the original abstract-expressionist, making messes in Moscow and Paris before the rest of the world caught on.
See what's cooking in Kandinsky's kitchen!
