the controversy surrounding them, both during his lifetime and today, revolves largely around a lack of knowledge concerning his artistic background and how he arrived at a new mode of working
Blah blah blah… art history
Nah, I’m sorry, but the history of how Pollock got to where he was, just splashing paint on a canvas, doesn’t have any impact on the merit of that art. It was precisely “throwing paint on a canvas”.
Pollock’s drip works were an exercise of the unconscious, and had a direct relation to the artist’s emotions, expression, and mood.
“When I am painting I am not much aware of what is taking place, it is only after that I see what I have done.”
Are you saying that quoting the artist themself on their process is nitpicking? I read that article. That quote was the most salient. It proves the very simple point the previous commenter was making. I’m sorry if you can’t accept that. You are the one choosing to be offended by something even the artist himself agrees with.

No intention at all. Your article is agreeing 100% with the person you replied to.
And you determined this by nitpicking a single quote out of a 1000+ words article?

Yeah because there is tons of other statements from Pollock on their process soooo idk
Let’s leave it at that.
It was the article you chose to post to refute the previous commenter. Good job, I guess.
Yeah thanks for the kind interaction.
Same to you, buddy. Maybe don’t accuse people of “nitpicking” the most important quote from an article if you can’t take them telling you “good job”.
