Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) was an American painter.
You could write a program to reproduce a Jackson Pollock drip painting fairly easily.

You have seen photographs of the situation: the large canvas on the floor. He is bending over it, not quite touching it. He is throwing the paint onto the canvas. Great. Revolutionary. Shouldn’t there be a bit of yellow somewhere, as some great surprise in the dark? For me, Pollock is a precursor to algorithmic art.
