When Pollock was starting to paint what I guess is his Abstract art out in a place on Long Island he didn’t have much money, but did have a rich woman paying his bills while he painted.
Anyway when he ran low on food and beer and had no money he would go to the village store where he shopped and would trade some of his pictures for supplies. I have often wondered how much those people ended up selling their painting for after Pollock died in the car accident and all of a sudden his stuff was worth big bucks.
Personally I think most of Pollock’s art is crap.
A few of his impressionistic paintings are interesting.
