Action painting is a process in which paint is spontaneously applied to the canvas, rather than carefully or precisely. It can be splashed, smeared, drizzles, or haphazardly onto the canvas. The focus of the painting is then on the action the painter used to create the painting, rather than the painting itself (which is usually more abstract).

Jackson Pollock was an abstract expressionist, and was famous for his style of drip painting and pouring. He used the force of his whole body to paint. The final product focuses more on the action of his body, rather than the finished product.

Reason for Jackson Pollock's painting for 'Blue Poles'?

I would imagine 'Blue Poles' was simply the next painting Pollock was working on, trying to move further forward. That said it is a painting i have seen 'in the flesh' and would like to point out it is one of his most colourful later paintings. With the 'Blue poles' themselves it is possible he was reapplying a strong awareness of composition and figure (as abstract mark) into his painting process.
