For 10 points, name this subject of photographs by Hans Namuth, an abstract expressionist whose 1955 drunk driving accident made Lee Krasner a widow.
This person is described as "the embodiment of...a secretly cherished wish to overturn old tables of crockery and flat champagne" in one essay that contrasts his death with those of "Stravinsky's fertility maidens."

This subject of an essay by Allan Kaprow about his "Legacy" turned to (*) figure-based painting after an argument about lost spontaneity in his work, which he blamed on working in front of a photographer whose work popularized this person's technique. This man was the subject of a film directed by and starring Ed Harris, as well as photos of him wearing his typical t-shirt and jeans in the studio.
