Jackson Pollock is an artists who challenges all of art’s principle’s in terms of what is considered to be talented execution and content. His artwork is amazing to some and grotesque to others. Truly a, “love it or hate it” artist. His artwork of layered paint splatters rivals works of Da Vinci in terms of monetary value. I myself find it difficult to have respect for an artist who created works with such easy execution and pure rebelliousness. I myself did a series based upon his style and found little satisfaction or challenge other than the shear size of the works. However, after reading this article I found a quote that raised a point that I was not aware of. “Pollock’s choice of enormous canvases served many purposes, chief of which for our discussion is that his mural-scale paintings ceased to become paintings and became environments.” In this sense, I understand and respect his work. To be surrounded by paintings that size with balanced contrasts would be an eye opener. Few artists can make paintings quite that interactive. However, he is not an artist for everybody and it shall most likely stay that way as long as art has controversy.
