  1. Pollack made lines. He, Rothko, Barnett, Motherwell, and a few others were seminal in creating an acceptance of non-figurative art as " fine art". Kandinsky was pretty much the catalyst in my opinion. The forerunner. Abstract Expressionism ( stupid term ) changed everything but that doesn't mean that we should all splatter or do simple color-field paintings and expect to be nothing more than a cheap copy. It was a jumping off point. No need to go there again. But, now where? That's the question. That's our job as artists. To ask questions. Not answer them. Just saying. ✌
    (Btw, I'm more of a DeKooning guy myself. He grew on me. )

  2. Pollock was amazing. It's hard to balance what you see here with the real man, and his portrayal by Ed Harris. Artists almost always look like total assholes in their biographies. Picasso becomes a jackass and a clown when portrayed by Hopkins.

  3. What’s the difference between a Pollack and an apron of another painter ?
    I showed an 8 year old kid the paintings and she said I can do it ….
    I don’t like modern art

  4. These type of paintings are done by people not artist that have no talent, they can't paint landscapes, still life …. so they did this type of crap.

  5. Saying "oh I could do that" is beside the point; Pollock created his own STYLE and a new GENRE. Saying you could paint like him is like saying you could copy his signature – so what?? Don't be a copier, be an innovator: Try creating your OWN trademark style, that's the great challenge for any artist.

  6. Jfc so many haters in the comments. Have any of you guys actually gone and seen some of pollock’s pieces? They’re quite moving and emotional. You can feel the motion of his hands and his feet, feel the charged emotions he must have had throwing the paint on the canvas. The sheer size of the piece feels like it’s going to swallow you whole in raw feeling. Saying your child could have done it is an immature way of seeing the piece. Understanding the story behind it can go a long way in appreciating abstract and modern art. Instead of shitting on someone who is undoubtedly one of the most prolific modern artists, consider for a minute why someone would view his art as something majestic and something to be preserved. Then rethink your tired and inane comments of, “my kids could do this” and “this is just paint splatters” and “this art doesn’t mean anything”.

  7. Good luck conservation team – those paints were designed for use on a rigid surface. Pollock was amazing, with an original process…..anyone who replicates this style is a low-level cliched artist
