Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. Pollock's technique of pouring and dripping paint is thought to be one of the origins of the term action painting.
Stewie Griffin compares his father Peter’s underwear to a Jackson Pollock painting in "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High".
Pollock appears in "Ocean's Three and a Half" when Peter brags about knowing paint.
While on a trip to the Quahog Art Museum with Ellie in "Boy (Dog) Meets Girl (Dog)", Brian claims Pollock is his favorite painter but mispronounces his name, which prompts Ellie to tell him to just be himself rather than trying to impress her.
