Who is the action painter ?

  • A.James Ensor
  • B.Degas
  • C.Gose
  • D.Jackson Pollok

Answer: D

The action painter is Jackson Pollock, who in the 1940s and 1950s dripped and poured paint onto canvases laid on the floor, so the act of painting itself became the subject. The term action painting, coined by Harold Rosenberg, is tied to him and to the Abstract Expressionists.

James Ensor was a Belgian painter of masks and fantasy, and Degas was a French Impressionist known for dancers and scenes of modern life. Neither used gesture as the main content of the picture, and the third name is not an action painter.
