 Jackson Pollock, a major force in the abstract expressionist movement, was also influenced by El Greco.By 1943, Pollock had completed sixty drawing compositions after El Greco and owned three books on the Cretan master.Kysa Johnson used El Greco's paintings of the Immaculate Conception as the compositional framework for some of her works, and the master's anatomical distortions are somewhat reflected in Fritz Chesnut's portraits.
