I love art of all types but honestly, this is just ridiculous to me. It’s just terrible, it only seems to confirm to me that half the art community are posers who are just sheep following whatever they’re told is good.

u/savevideo please
alcoholic paintings like this are so the rage on the streets of LA right now, that Unhoused Chic right now, sooooo hot.
Ralph Steadman if he was boring.
WORLDS BEST GRIFTER
Some people love his art and some are sorely unimpressed. His art is like all art, subjective. Like Steve Martin said about his comedy, some will like it and some won’t. And that’s alright. What you think is crap I’ll buy for $1000. And vice versa. Those who love his stuff say genius. Those that don’t say hack. I say… I agree with both of you.
Ah, yes, the original “banana duck taped to a wall”.
His drip paintings are indistinguishable from a house painter’s drop cloth at the end of a job.
He is proof that people will like something just so they can feel sophisticated and superior.
His other stuff is pretty cool, if you’re into abstract art. The She-wolf is particularly interesting.
I recommend to those dubious to see one in person. They are often huge and the energy he put into them comes off the canvas (for me). #jockart
Meh, I know we’ll hear several hundred iterations of “art is subjective” which I partially agree with. However, there is a lot of art where it is clearly evident a lot of technical skill is necessary. For example, seeing images of highly realistic hand drawings where you cannot discern it from a photograph takes a lof of training, practice etc.
“Well the CIA gives me money to do them, so I do them” – Jackson Pollack, basically
Ambivalent about the art. Hate the man.
Was this before or after he got drunk and beat his wife?
“Art”
Reminds me of when I went to Miro’s house in Spain. I was 16 and a huge fan of Dali. Most of the paintings were paint splattered on a canvas. I was so pissed, I left and sat in the tour bus. I don’t get how this is considered good art.
I was at a high school fundraiser where the kid had made some drip paintings. I told my girlfriend “Hang that at MOMA and tell people it’s a Pollock and it’s worth $10 million.”
Here we go again.
People just post this to farm anger karma, not because of any desire to actually talk about art. Reddit isn’t capable of talking about it. The permitted opinion is that art is a scam, especially abstract art, it’s pointless to offer any other perspective.
The Emperor’s New Clothes, but you get downvoted if you say the truth
I like some of his earlier works, the chaos is there, just not overwhelming like in his latter works.
he looks unimpressed
Ooo, yeah. I especially liked the way you brought out the natural . . Oh fuck it. That’s just paint slopped on a canvas, and some idiot gave him a lot of money for it.
Yeah looks like the painting my daughter made on my wall when she was 3…. I hadn’t realized she was an amazing artist 🤣😆🤣😆🤣💀💀💀
One of the biggest frauds ever perpetuated was getting this con-man’s work accepted as Art
I almost guarantee if you tried this yourself you wouldn’t get the same result.
I’m more convinced by people like Warhol and David Hockney who were incredibly gifted at drawing and design and *chose* to go into the direction of comtemporary art
I like *some* Jackson Pollock but I’m always aware he didn’t have very many ideas and was probaby only doing drip paint because he couldn’t draw
There is no mastery in his work. It feels embarrassing to compare him to the likes of Picasso
Also, he worked BIG. And immense-sized works like his translate well when they are huge.
Dude was just unknowingly making NFTs for rich people
Modern art is an important piece of art history but is such a snooze
I thought the title said Jackson Pollock talks about his drip.
I’m currently studying history of art and Pollock is a running theme this month and especially the fact that he was the said “bad boy” of the artists at that time with him smoking and drinking while drawing and using materials artists wouldn’t use at that time like industrial paint(+the fact he died while drunk driving). He has become one of my favorite artists of the early American expressionist artists for that reason, as well as the cowboy persona bc he grew up in the west.
Thanks for posting. I love this kind of Art.
I’ve seen elephants and monkeys paint like this.
so if i look like im having a rough bowel movement when i paint i can be called an artist?
I wish I had thought of just dribbling around paint for millions of dollars
they found a Pollock at last colonoscopy and removed it and kept it and sent me a bill for $1500 that was with insurance
Garbage
Holy shit my garage floor must be a masterpiece.
I’m selling my dad’s canvas drop cloth. DM to bid. No crypto. No lowballs, I know what I’ve got
If you like Pollacks drip paintings, you should look into Janet Sobel and Mark Tobey.
I remember Mike Judge on David Letterman doing his Beavis and Butthead voices and Dave said, I can do that. Mike chimed back, yeah well I thought if it first.
I painted an apartment like this. Floor & ceiling.the girl probably didn’t get her deposit back , hahaha!
I hate painters like this. Anyone could do what he did it doesn’t take any skill whatsoever to dribble paint on a canvas.
If some random person made a crappy painting and that painting was shown at a museum at they said it was made by Pollock or some other famous artist, they would say that painting is ‘brilliant’ or some stupid shit
Big drip
Lol. How dare you. I have never voted for a swing in my life. A swinger, now that’s a different story.
I always found his art to be pretty shit. I mean everyone can do what he did. I much prefer art that takes skill
“A little splash here, oh and here, scribble here, splash here. Now let me stare into a void. Done.”
I did art history at uni and tbh made fun od this kind of abstract work…. until I saw one in real life. They look three dimensional and natural. Plus his selection of colours is down right tasty and could be used traditionally. Pollock was no joke. Beautiful work.
So, conceivably, every time I blow my nose, the tissue is abstract art?
