The Big Three: Jackson Pollock

Fathom Five by Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock's art received many different reactions from people who viewed it, some liked it, while others did not accept it as art at all.  Pollock's art seemed to challenge people's perception of what "art" really is; his work during the "drip period" from 1947 to 1950 truly exemplified this, and made him a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement.  Personally, I like his paintings from the "drip period."  These paintings seem very random and unorganized, but to me they have a certain pattern to them.  The pure creativity that was put into these works is also very evident, and give the paintings a unique feel.

  1. I like the fact that you pointed out the patterns versus the randomness. What patterns do you notice or what do they remind you of? These are the types of questions that will enrich your responses.
