Look at my Jackson!

One of the reasons that I respect my father so much, is that he has the uncanny ability to look and/or experience something and have the exact opposite reaction that I do—I believe nerds would call it the Rashomon Effect.

My father is a very calm man, but I can just see him get visibly frustrated at someone calling Jackson Pollock a genius. Or even a good painter.

I think Jackson Pollock is great, but mostly because his work is so polarizing.

Jackson Pollock is one of the most influential American painters and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement. His most recognized work comes from his "drip period" between 1947 and 1950. London-based artist, Miltos Manetas has created the awesome JacksonPollock.org which allows the user to make their very own Pollock with his flash interface.
