I didn't get Jackson Pollock until I saw Blue Poles at the National Gallery of Australia while on a visit to Canberra. I didn't know it was in the gallery, I was just wandering around looking for the silver Elvis and boom, I turned a corner and there it was. Huge, overwhelming, dynamic and incredibly dense. I immediately understood that there was nothing random about the painting, nothing contrived. It was pure energy. I later saw a Pollock exhibition at The Museum Of Modern Art and again I was bowled over by these paintings. Perplexed by how Pollock came to this point as an artist. Someone once described Pollock's paintings as 'Lino, or floor covering designs', couldn't be further from the truth of the paint on the canvas. I have no real opinion about him as a man, but the paintings speak for themselves when you see them.

What's amazing about a Pollock is how absurdly blunt, raw, dense and ferocious it is. One look, and it immediately strikes you! I remember using one as a FB profile picture and it got many folks intrigued and quite a few, perturbed lol!

I'm not sure he was manic? But as pointed out he was egoistical, manipulative, etc. He had mental issues, perhaps of his own making. Tortured for sure. Too bad he ended it all-& didn't seem to care that they went with him. In the Ed Harris film one of the girls died.

It is insane how Pollock’s earlier works were mural-like and is able to be understood by many. But then the deeper he goes into his work, the more formless it becomes. He ditches the paint brush and splatters paint instead. He goes from painting something specific to just splashing and dripping paint to express himself in the purest sense - no rules, no specific outcome in mind, just expression.

spectators and critics of his paintings were fools. It was not about what he painted but "how" he painted--the grace in it, the dance like continuous flow. His painting must be seen totally not just what is being painted for then you will miss all the heavenly glory, as Bruce Lee said, if you get lost in the finger pointing the sky.

I think the solution to staying normal for any artist is to have another job. He was weirdly enough searching for this in relationships. Most likely he considered being an artist as his job. But it is not a job if u can't adapt. Take comissions; like Rembrandt. If u have nobody checking you and your schedule you lose your grip. It's actually other ppl frowning upon you if you misbehave. Helps to keep u restrained.

Yes that's exactly the right set of values. And in any case he's greatly despised for killing Eve Metzler. But an artwork is an artwork, it doesn't matter to its artistic achievement if the artist is an evil guy.

I think a polar disorder is what causes to see the surroundings as an abstract world. These peoples see mostly strong colors in their minds. They don't seem to have a realistic vision of their surroundings, as well they don't interpret people's behavior as a realistic motive for actions. This attitude caused them to react in a negative way according to standard behavior. I can understand their pain, but can't tolerate their attitude. It could become sadistic and is better to run away from it. I like some of their paintings, but don't enjoy most of them. I prefer realism. It's hard to paint realistically, it takes a lot of effort and work.

If the Australian government did indeed buy a Pollock for a million or two and that 'work of art' is worth 100+ million today then why don't they sell it and invest the money into schools or children's hospitals? The children could easily knock up something better looking than anything Pollock has done.
