Abstract Expressionism: Pollock

Pollock's painting are not abstract but nonrepresentational. Let's not argue the term this time..haha. The terminology of art has always evolved haphazardly and inconsistently as people grasped for terms to speak about what was new, as one would reach for the shadows on the wall in Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave'.



Here's a clip from a movie about Pollock directed by Ed Harris. If anyone is interested, I believe the opening score is a piece composed by Clint Mansell(born Clinton Darryl Mansell, 7 January 1963, in Coventry, England)
