''Time Magazine'' was the first to dub Jackson Pollack as "Jack the Dripper" in an article titled "The Wild One" published on Monday, February 20, 1956.

Quote: "Jackson Pollock's Scent is a heady specimen of what one worshiper calls his "personalized skywriting." More the product of brushwork than of Pollock's famed drip technique, it nevertheless aims to remind the observer of nothing except previous Pollocks, and quite succeeds in that modest design. All it says, in effect, is that Jack the Dripper, 44, still stands on his work. "

His nickname was "Jack the Dripper" as Pollock's most famous paintings were made by dripping and splashing paint on a large canvas.
