No, action painting is not associated with Pablo Picasso. Action painting is a style of abstract painting that emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, characterized by spontaneous, gestural brushstrokes and the physical act of painting itself. It is often associated with artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. Picasso, on the other hand, was a prominent figure in the development of modern art and is best known for his contributions to Cubism and other artistic movements.
