Artist of the Day

Jackson Pollock

I'm always drawn to abstract art and one of the artists that I admire as far as skill and talent in regards to his visual artwork is Jackson Pollock.  The level of intensity of his paintings can be seen in this piece called Autumn.  Pollock expressed art that was produced in his subconscious mind that some consider a little controversial and sort of weird, however as an artist appreciating all art forms I sort of understand a little of what he was trying to achieve.  Art in an avant-garde manner that was coming from a deeper nature.  Trying to tap into that mentality can be therapeutic to some degree for any artist but may also draw upon the dangers of over thinking or analyzing which can decrease the fun of being creative.  Anyway, somebody out there may choose to agree or disagree with my take on this...either way I will still appreciate the input just the same.  Here's to an amazing day of talking, thinking, living, and breathing in the "art" around us!


Hooray for abstract expressionism!  Conforming or nonconforming...what do you think?
