It isn't about what he pooped, but about who he stooped. The reason that it is difficult to do what Pollock did is because what he did was to be Ms. Guggenheim's sex toy.
Guggenheim Museum.
And whatever "art" she wanted to be famous, is famous. Naturally, every artist with asperations of being in the Guggenheim Museum agree with whatever sentiment she put forth. If Pollock was "good" for her then everyone in the art community liked Pollock.
Of course, that sort of sycophancy fails to translate well to the masses...who see random paint splatters as being...random paint splatters.
Thus, modern art is a classic case of the Elites versus the Masses. What most people like is Kinkade, not Pollock. What the Elites like is whatever is popular in their insular world.
Is there much of a difference? Kinkade markets the he11 out of his works. He hasn’t painted much (I admit it’s nice) but he’ll sell it to you any way you can imagine and are willing to part with a buck for.
Survival of the fittest often challenges our notion of what constitutes fit.
Was there years ago. Interesting building (Frank Lloyd Wright) I think....but what was inside was silly...The walkway was a ramp that circled the lobby and took you up several stories...
The lobby at that time had a large slab of foam rubber and there were a couple of people making out on it....Laughed myself silly and I like modern art...
