Hey, that's neat, Nantz! There were some Pollock paintings at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and when I lived in NYC I would sit on
a bench in front of them and just let myself get drawn into them.
Experiencing art like his -- or that of Mark Rothko -- is a different
way of "looking and feeling" at the same time. Can't explain this
very well but I greatly enjoyed them. There is a "method to their
madness" although not obviously apparent from a quick looksee.

I know diddley squat about art. To me, some of Pollocks art has a
theme I can guess at but most of it looks like scribbling. With that
link I gave you I can come up with stuff that looks just like his.
Though I doubt that an art critic would agree with that statement. I
remember once seeing a print that really got to me to the point that I
bought one. It was titled something like "Two maidens by the river"
and was done by some German painter. No idea who. Guess I'm just not a
classy Libberal Noo Yokka. :)
