The article looks at the implementation of the poured technique and the reorientation of artistic activity from the wall to the floor as the most original and influential contributions of painter Jackson Pollock to the history of art. Art critic Rosalind Krauss views Pollock's deployment of horizontality as a medium as representing a radical regression from the intellectual, disembodied, optical way of perceiving the world that stems from humanity's vertical posture. According to the article, the technique allows for maximum control of the paint.
