There is a claim that "Mural" above has the word Jackson written in the blue-black swashes. I'm not sure I can see it...

@KevBaz78 I heard about this, and saw image enhancements -- I forget where -- that were thought to highlight the lettering, make it easier to see. And supposedly his full name appears and takes up most of the pictorial space. Maybe Dan Brown can take up the case.

this voice over is horrible.

it is self conscious.

[KevBaz78]

@jbresland Ha! Very true...not sure whether we we have an Illuminati-type problem on our hands then however!

I am just beginning to see the significance of Pollock after only a few weeks of fully immersing myself into reading about him. I know he splits the Art world. I find this particular painting extremely fascinating and profoundly brilliant. The same can be said for No 5, 1948.

I like the thought that the demensions of this painitng are that of the movies.
