Vomit Painter artist throws up on canvas to create Jackson Pollock-style splatter paintings that Lady Gaga loves
Both of these quotes reveal total ignorance of Pollock's work. I recently discovered that a good way to replicate a Pollock painting is to dribble paint from what physicists call a chaotic pendulum. Critics often rubbish Pollock because all his later paintings were produced while he was blind drunk, but in getting himself blattered, he was merely transforming himself into a human chaotic pendulum, and I find a painting like
Lavender Mist
to be one of the best ways to explain chaos theory, which in my experience few people actually understand. Unlike the work of the two artists referenced above, which I can only imagine is no more than a mess, Pollock's paintings are illustrations of chaos, which is
not the same thing.
