Jackson Pollock (1912 - 1956)

I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them

Crap.

Pollock managed to paint what was un-sayable. Bravo to him.

what's the name of the picture at the beginning of the video?
thanks for posting it =)

laughable!

sounds like he's ejaculating with paint. Sort of self indulgent don't you think?

That's a short cut to thinking. Do you know anything about the man? What's with the anti-American shit? Bush really fucked us up in the worlds eyes. Don't forget, we have Ginsberg, Faulkner, Fitzgerald...etc. Art shouldn't be a debate on nationalism, it should be the bridge between.

I would not call it barf. Thing is, most people think Jackson Pollock became famous because of his approach of painting (I dislike the word "style"). The reality is, Jackson Pollock was at the right place at the right time, just like Andy Warhol. If it was not for Life Magazine, no one outside of Unites States would have known Jackson Pollock at all! Remember: research first then critiquing.

Ha! Another white american penis is in the right place at the right time. No, really get a clue. The guy is not original (see Mark Tobey) and he functioned as a pawn in a stupid ploy to make America the new center of the Art world and to contradict soviet realism. Remember that thing called the cold war? Do yourself a favour and don't assume that everyone limits themselves to what they read in american magazines.
Douche.

Douche? You don't even know me, nor do I know you. However, I study Fine Arts at York University and volunteer as a high school student teacher. I know my material but what ticks me off is when some individual, who has nothing better to do then complain on YouTube, decides to offend an artist who was well known. Like I mentioned before: "research first then critiquing!"
