One sees a sattelite image, and another just see a bunch of splattered drops. Although that I sees a bushfull forest and 'sees' a distorted mind I don't like this picture which can be found at many artists floor right under the easel. My favorites are with Escher-ism drawings from himself and like and the Bruegels (both father and son). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The only meaning in Pollacks paintings are what they say about society and the vanity of our materialistic view. So many things in this world have artificial value that people dream about paying for. The rich and the intellectuals are frequently the biggest fools. Good on Pollack for making a career taking the cash from these deluded snobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the name its worth a carrot, and no-one will worship its artistic genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not interested in any of the paintings, but as I said, the rest of your OP is really true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
