It will work better using a SMALL SCREEN FORMAT.
A fragment (going on a loop) of the film of Jackson Pollock painting - shot by Hans Namuth (1950) and released as "Jackson Pollock 51" (1951). Sound is not synchronous. Available (with another short clip and a text transcript of Pollock's comments) at http://www.nga.gov/feature/pollock/pr...

    Pollock's paintings are in fact very sophisticated and not just random splashes. It is hard to convince people of this, who just see random splashes. Think if you heard a language that you never heard before. It would just be a noise. Haven't you ever heard a piece of music or even watched a movie or something that you thought was bad for whatever reason then heard or saw it again and changed your mind. Some people just hear random noise is Jazz music but it's not really like that at all.

    You're saying that sarcastically right? I mean am I taking crazy pills here?! It doesn't take talent to do what he's doing there! Its simply dogma, people think its sophisticated and brilliant just because they're told so!

    You should totally try it. Like...eat a bunch of gummy worms, skittles, and jelly beans....wait about 15 minutes then puke it all onto a canvas.

    Once the canvas stains are set, shop it around to art dealers to see how much you can get from it.

    I find Jackson Pollock's work to be very moving....that is, whenever I see one in a gallery, I move on to something that doesn't look like shit.

    You can not convince me that he had more intent than a child when he holds his paint can over the canvas, with trails of color down the side, dribbling as he goes.
