In the December 2002 edition of Scientific American it has been reported that the appeal to Action Jackson's painting is the fact that they are just huge fractals with a scaling relation at approximately 1.6. Pretty cool
Only part (a very small part) of it unfortunately. Though you can buy the full article. Anyway, what of it there is, is here http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000CC6E4-9171-1DC9-AF71809EC588EEDF&pageNumber=1&catID=2
I'd bet three week's pay that you, goofy headed punk, are entirely incapable of presenting an even marginally acceptable presentation of your opinion of Jackson Pollack, or even the notion of "post-expressionism"...did you even see ed harris's movie?
Dude, don't start insulting me for no reason. I did attempt to express my opinion of Jackson Pollock's work. All I did was repeat what I thought was interesting. No opinion, only repitition. I'm not even sure why your post is applicable, to be blunt.
I read about it about a year ago in Discover Magazine. It's the way to tell if a Pollock painting is a fake or not!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I didn't know Pollock, but looking at his paintings, they look like MRI SCANS of sliced brains. Other paintings of him remind of roadmaps of large cities that has been covered with annoying graffity in order to blur the patterns, or maybe it is the other way around? Anyway I think Mr. Pollocks work, has a "neural network" quality about it, maybe (i am on very thin ice here) his creativity was stimulated by some part of his bring being a generator of interfering white nois and hiss, while he is constantly seeking to tune in to a radiostation. While his work might be of importance, for trying new things at that time, I wouldn"t buy any of his paintings, cause it's colours and shapes don't provoke an emotional response and only a meager train of though....
Pollock actually said to experience his paintings like you do music. I used to think like you until I read this, and now have a much better appreciation for his work. You have to sort of feel them, not observe them. I actually have a cd of songs off of old jazz records he listened to as he painted. He had good taste!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
