Pollock Jackson is the most interesting artist to me. His art works reflect the idea that the artists just draw what come to their heads. Pollock Jackson freely expressed his ideas and his life through his paintings, which made him become the leading innovator of modern painting. Pollock Jackson was the most influential painter of his generation in America. In the video, the narrator said that nobody could define what modern art was, but by looking at Pollock Jackson's paintings and at himself while he was creating them, most of people may have an idea of what modern art is. He said "When I am in my painting, I am not aware of what I am doing. . . .I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. . . ." The audience may say his works were "a mess" at the first look; however, when they keep investigating the paintings, they can figure out what he were drawing: his depression, his upset and his losing. By Pollock Jackson, I developed an open-minded looking and investigating at modern art works.
I love your post. You really made me want to read more with the title and you used a great quote from the film to prove your overall argument. It really does make you realize that his work is more controlled and intentional than it seems.
