No.8, Black Flowing, Jackson Pollock
There once was an artist named Jack
Whose paintings took some viewers aback
Said he while dripping
It's not art I'm skipping
They should step a few paces back....

Abstract art: a product of the untalented sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterwards you can
remove all traces of reality.

Do drip drop over here for more!
I know very little about art, but I do know what I like and what I don't like.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Big hug to you and tons of scritches to Miss Lucy. ♥♥♥
interesting information...thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think Pablo Picasso just described the 'Fibro Fog' I'm experiencing! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI do admire the work of Jackson Pollack, but I appreciate abstract art more than I like it. I hope you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteA work of art is a talk between the artist and the audience. The artist feels something, puts that feeling into some art medium, and the audience responds. Some artists don't bring out much of a response in some audiences.
ReplyDeleteYou gave me some info about this painting I didn't know. Nice Limerick!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love the information you provided.
ReplyDeleteCleverrrrr...
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Art is in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteI'd certainly have stood back if I was close by when he painted that! A great take on the prompt.

ReplyDeletea few paces back.
This is very true Kathe! An abstract painting can be appreciated better from a distance. It has perhaps to do with perspectives

Delicious: the philosophical flirt that is your poem, what others have said about abstract art, and Pollock's ability to take an insult and make it into pure yum.

ReplyDeleteAh.. we must try to find.. but maybe it's all a hoax.
ReplyDeleteIt helps to free your mind and then free your hand. Love the two quotes.
ReplyDeleteClever one...
ReplyDeletePollock was a character and you caught that in this fun piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteWe have all (or most anyway) thought about taking the leap but in some cases vertigo takes over stifling the urge!
