Pollock
* Abstract Expressionism: Process of trial and error motivated by aesthetic goals, new reps of emotions and state of mind, styles evolved as they worked. Non-geometric shapes, Jungian philosophy that certain myths and believes are repeated in different societies at different times* Driven by pressures of critics, extrinsic opinions, unpalatable as yesterdays macaroni Arnold Newman, life mag 1949, decoration, need for money* 1947-50 immune to critics consequently (ironically deemed by critics) to be his best work, Clement Greenberg.* Critic, Harold Rosenburg patented "action painting".* Innovative technique of dripping paint onto canvas's which lay on the floor.* Vast deviation from traditional painting w brushes and vertical canvas's.* Pollock preferred his way of painting, he felt nearer, more a part of the painting since I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting
* Com2: mathematics and Golden Ratio (fractal dimension), and Chaos Theory. But no they couldn't because he had the "touch" maybe the use of the Golden Ratio. I don't know about finding a city, the atomic bomb seems relevant considering war etc. 62) single geometric pattern repeated over&over only with different magnifications = patterns in nature = nature is beautiful, this is suggestion in Pollock's work* GR: concerned with aesthetically pleasing to the human eye, represents perfection. * primitive aspects of Pollock's paintings=on the floor, hands according to com1 has its origins in cave paintings. * Spontaneous, chaotic, unconventional, uncontrolled, first opinion, a child could do this. greys, yellows and cream I agree with, again the use of layers of paint creates this effect. Softness in boldness and bol in its softness is true to as the painting is very big and is striking, yet looking at it you begin to marvel at the use of colour. * I think there is order in the chaos of his painting. * Sand, glass and other forigen matter* LAVENDER MIST, 1950* Com1; Original drip paintings followed shapes and formations already conceived on canvas = figurative formation in work. I don't agree the is form or the hands make up for loss of figure in Lavender mist, top right hand corner.
