Jackson Pollock. The artist some argue was more brilliant than Picasso or Dali. The genius of the twenty first century.
Controversial?
Perhaps.
I am by no means an art critic, so I’ll just say that I admire his paintings for their bizarre complexity. Colors influence emotions, or so psychologists claim. And having so many colors, all fighting to be noticed, is undoubtedly a way to make people feel something.
What does that make you feel?
What do you make of it?
What does it mean?
To each of us, art means something different. It affects us differently.

I don’t understand abstract art, but Jackson Pollock has long been a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing his work. His life was tragic, but his art will live on always.
Thanks for sharing your pick of artists and authors. The information you give with your chosen artist and author is also very interesting.
My thoughts on this painting wastrel, his name, if in the plural form, would rhyme with the standard of his so-called art.
All that noise and randomness makes one want to filter out a message. It actually irritates me a bit. It is like walking into a room buzzing with a hundred conversations and not being able to understand a single one. Sensory overload in a bad way.
