Ovation TV | Jackson Pollock

This OVATION original documentary follows his life, beginning with his Depression-era days working for the WPA through the optimism and Cold War paranoia that laced the 1950s. Pollock's relationships with both Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso are explored. Archival footage, including Hans Namuth's famous cinematic rendering of the artist at work, is coupled with archival photos of Pollock's time, when atom bombs stunned the world, Kerouac addressed the Beat Generation and jazz permeated the airwaves.

How many times can you draw trees and riders on horses?

Now how many times can you reproduce a Pollock?

No body can reproduce a Pollock.

You don't understand Pollock. However, there are too many lazy thoughtless painters trying to make a living by creating loose abstracts now Just because someone has a canvas and some oil paintings doesn't make them an ARTIST. The 20th century is fascinating when viewed when informed by the real artists of the day. Why is Banksy is the most acclaimed living artist right now and compare to the aspects of modern western culture. Pollock phony? Study art and history more closely!

@papppappful I dont blame you for that opinion he didnt put alot of effort into his works.

[papppappful]

@MattisSoderstorm Oh yeah, I'm sorry I don't really know much about Andy Warhol. I just think he's kinda crap.

[MattisSoderstorm]

@papppappful Well he didnt start rich but what im saying is that basically the rich are retarded and theyll believe its art if you say it is.

[papppappful]

@Super8StrikesBack I'd say he's more innovative than skilled.

[papppappful]

@MattisSoderstorm I kind of agree with you there. I respect Picasso, but I think Andy Warhol was just a spoiled rich kid who had the money to do all his stupid pretentious stuff.

[papppappful]

@Super8StrikesBack Nobody can perfectly reproduce anything. But some people can surely paint a picture like Jackson Pollock. He really wasn't extremely artistically gifted.

[MattisSoderstorm]

Pollock is a mix of Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso.

Hes selling paintings nobody understands for lot of money to the rich and getting famous and remembered in history for it.

Looks like crap to me. ,,,And to re produce means to make multiple (many) copies of .

@Super8StrikesBack What does reproduce mean?

Critics of Pollock dislike him partly because his drip paintings imply a lack of effort. But every move is calculated. You ask any artist, one wrong move can ruin the entire equilibrium of the artist's vision. Imagine how many wasted paintings because of this. Francis Bacon used to throw away his work when he made mistakes, blemishes on otherwise technically brilliant, thoughtful and well-planned pieces. It's naive to assume Pollock's pioneering style was indolent. It was anything but.
