No, that’s true. Most artists have to conquer basic drawing and drafting skills before they can branch out into more avant garde forms. You can see that in the early work of Picasso. Now, Pollack didn’t have great technique apparently but was able to turn his lack of skill into a virtue. His amazing ability to just launch paint on large canvases exactly where he wanted them to go are feats in and of themselves. This can be seen to wonderful effect in the movie about his life starring Ed Harris.
Quite interesting and not to everyone’s taste.
Great movie and you’re right not to everyone’s taste. My ex couldn’t get through it. He left the room and house.
Too many years in Georgia, I suppose.
