          Jackson Pollock was born January 28, 1912 in Cody, Wyoming.

          He was the fifth and youngest son. When he was a year old his family moved to Arizona, and then to Chico, California.

          When did jackson pollock start painting

          His dad started off as a farmer, but when that failed he became a land surveyor for the government. Since Jackson would go with his dad when he went land surveying, he was exposed to Native Americans and their art which would later influence his work.

          He attended the Los Angeles Manual Arts High School where he was persuaded to go into a career in art.

          In 1930 he followed his eldest brother, Charles, to New York City and moved there. He studied under Thomas Hart Breton at the Art Students League of New York
