Jackson Pollock was known to have enjoyed jazz music, particularly the improvisational styles of artists like Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk. He often found inspiration in the rhythms and spontaneity of jazz, which mirrored his own approach to painting. Pollock believed that the energy and fluidity of jazz complemented his artistic process, influencing the way he created his iconic drip paintings.
