Jackson Pollock
American artist Jackson Pollock dribbling sand on a painting while working in his studio in East Hampton, New York.
After leaving Cody, Wyoming, just 11 months after his birth, Jackson Pollock did not settle in one place immediately. Over the next 16 years, his family moved nine times, living in various locations throughout California and Arizona.1
In 1928, the family moved to Los Angeles, where Pollock attended Manual Arts High School before eventually moving to New York City in 1930 to pursue his art studies.1
