Very polite of you to make that comment. I, however, am willing to be a dick.
Pollock was a drunk and a hack, Kandinsky is the abstract artist we should be celebrating as a household name.
Also I'm p sure I read that Pollock killed a dude while drunk driving and got away with it but I don't care enough about him one way or another to verify that before posting it on lemmy dot com.
Agree completely. I think Pollock was just really good at bullshitting people and once you are a big name you can pretty much make whatever you want and people will add value because of your name.
He was a commercial artist through and through, that is for certain. His pieces have that je ne sais bullshit feel that comes from people producing art as product, not art.
I'm gonna have to try and remember "je ne sais bullshit". That's a good one.
Can’t tell if you are on the Neanderthal man spectrum or Jedi knight spectrum of bell curve.
Me? Probably Neanderthal. 😅
A Neanoerthal that knows Kandinsky, tho.
Had to look this up, and wow yeah, that is some very striking, abstract art from someone who has definitely refined their craft and worked hard to do so. Very cool imagery.
I'm a simple man, I see "Kandinsky", I upvote.
Don't forget my man Rothko!
