RE: Confused Art Viewer Response Re: Jackson Pollock
Well said @puddles, I become endlessly tired of trying to explain to people why works such as these are so important and why they are given the credits they have been. People forget when looking at art that all art needs to be viewed in context of the artists personal journey and the time in which it was produced and although a work may not be yo your personal style or taste to give respect for works such as these that opened new avenues for artists that didn't exist before.
Thank you! I know that I have been guilty of wondering “huh?” about some artists or works. You are right, it isn’t just about the aesthetics—there is so much that goes into the making of some pieces (time, culture, personal), that it is hard to comprehend without knowing all the pieces.
