An original Jackson Pollack.
It's not as good as it sounds, so don't get excited. You're not allowed to sell it. You have to hang it prominently in your home. Acceptance of the prize is mandatory.

I know everyone is going to slag this off, but until you've seen one of these in real life, with the massive, field of view filling
canvas and the very 3D paint right in front of you, you haven't really seen it.

In 2006, a documentary, Who the *$&% Is Jackson Pollock? was made concerning Teri Horton, a truck driver who in 1992 bought an abstract painting for five dollars at a thrift store in California. This work may be a lost Pollock painting, but its authenticity is debated.

The aspect ratio of this painting is 1.66:1. The aspect ratio of a 16:9 cell phone is 1.77:1.
This painting can be displayed on a mobile phone of standard aspect ratio in "portrait" mode with a loss of less than 7% of screen space to banding bars. This is a pretty good fit for cell phone art.

kids do art or try to, in school
they know how hard it is to something that is good and that it is much easier to do something "abstract" than something that accurately represents reality.
even drawing a good cartoon ain't easy and they know it.
If an adult is producing something that looks like something their little brother did that is still hanging on the fridge from last year, they ain't impressed.

And why childlike works from adults don't work, and why conflating the fact of being childlike with the reason for its value results in a work that fails.
From "Why Beauty Matters:"
Art needs creativity, and creativity is about sharing. It is a call to others to see the world as the artist sees it. That is why we find beauty in the naive art of children. Children are not giving us ideas in the place of creative images, nor are they wallowing in ugliness. They are trying to affirm the world as they see it, and to share what they feel. Something of the child's pure delight in creation survives in every true work of art.

We need to occasionally see art that makes us question the nature of beauty. Because most of the time, we see some of the best art in the last 600 years. Or we are introduced to new visions, as filtered by the talent and life-experiences of the great painters. So we get calibrated in uplifting culture.

If Pollack is great art, this is it.
I have seen written and heard said more times that I can really count that to appreciate Pollack is to appreciate his process. That the final output of paint of canvas is the reflection of the passion and agony and frenetic movement and turmoil that created it. That what imbues the work with the gravitas of great art is the process that went into its creation.
If that is true, then the final product is *not* the art. The art is the process by which it was created. The art, therefore, would actually be Pollack himself in a glass cubicle in an art gallery somewhere, doing his thing. The canvases could then be burned or mounted and framed without any difference in meaning.

There is something about Pollock that I find very compelling, even though I'm not that much of a modern art fan.
Kris can probably weigh in on this far better than I can, but I think that Pollack is different because most art, especially early art, emphasized the value of positive space - the intended image. Later, artists found that the negative space had value worth emphasizing, and explored how that can work. I think of MC Escher was the first artist that showed me what that can mean.
Pollock's paintings seem to have neither, which is oddly compelling to me. I really like his work.

Carpet is also unsanitary and gross and I hate it. But that's beside the point. The same contrast can be seen in cars.
Cheap cars are pretty damn impressive now. My $26k Hyundai Sonata that I bought on a deep discount a few years back has tremendous quality and features that used to be premium just a few short years before that. You can barely buy a car without power windows and locks and driver's seat anymore. Leather trim at least in high-wear areas is commonplace. Touchscreen displays, Bluetooth integration, automatic headlamps and other premium features are now standard.
It's hard to differentiate when so much of what was elite is now pedestrian, so the marque itself becomes the differentiator of the premium. The extra geegaws like 22-way power seats and 30 speakers are indeed luxurious and nice, but not something most people pay for on a normal car. It isn't enough better. But if those things make your premium car stand out compared to my average car, *that* has the appropriate value.

Sure you do. If your taxes are used to fund the "arts," and you have an art museum in your town, you are paying for it.
Otherwise, the rich and powerful "pay" for it by stealing from you as well. And this garbage being bought and sold is just another scam they pull, to maintain their wealth. At your expense.

I get that, to a point. Not being labor-intensive for its own purposes, but as a means to the end of quality. I am really down with the concept of "even if you don't have much, if what you have is of good quality and can become an heirloom, then you're doing well."
A really good table will never need to be replaced (barring catastrophic damage). A cheap thing made of MDF and dowels will need replacing sooner rather than later. You're not going to be handing down the latter, but you could the former. But you will only have one, maybe ever.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 30, 2021 09:25 AM (Jsjd7)
Like CBD, I've never hated Pollock. But, like Rothko to "get" him you need to see his stuff in person.
It obvious that he wasn't just slopping paint around, but does that make it art?
Eh, I'd lean more toward "craftsmanship". But, hey, it's your wallet. If you want to buy it, dozo!

I think this is exactly right. What we call "art" are really artifacts. They are evidence that art occurred. Here's something I've been mulling off-and-on for a while. The thesis is not fully formed so I don't intend to go very deep or even defend it very strongly but here it goes FWIW.
There is only one Creator and all human acts of "creation" are imitations. Leaving aside for now the question of technical skill and execution, an imitation can be intended either as a tribute or as a mockery. I think in very broad terms, that may be the real distinction between classical and modern art.
Thoughts?

It's possible to think of all creation as fragments of the Creator as well. So that all our endeavors, however freely chosen they are, already have been "created" by the Creator, who knows each and every smidge and jot and notion of His creation.
All the beauty this universe contains, it is balanced by the ugly and the profane. And vice versa.
And maybe like a Rubik's cube, we are trying to "solve" it so the pieces all fit together. And once they do, the balance is restored.
Or something like that. Just a thought.

I think I probably disagree. The goal of Michelangelo when he sculpted David wasn't the act of sculpting. The sculpture is of course an artifact of his work, but the work - the statue - was its own end.
Using the argument I've heard and mentioned in 200, this is not the case for this. Pollack's canvas was not its own end. The effort and process that created it was the end he was pursuing. The final paint on canvas was a byproduct.

I've seen most of the episodes now, and The Rifleman was and is the gold standard for half-hour TV Westerns. Each episode told a complete story, usually with a lesson (not a hit-you-over-the-head one) for Mark and occasionally even Lucas himself. Lucas was one of the first single fathers on TV. And he was not a lawman but a small rancher -- yet the stories often had to do with crime, and were compelling and fast-moving.

prints from one of those print-on-demand outfits. I'm awaiting receipt
and will report back, but I am already pretty displeased. Their website
didn't give any indication of this, but they're a Chinese firm based in
Hong Kong. I learned this when I got the tracking number and it is China
Post. I went and checked the credit card transaction, and sure enough
it is a Hong Kong outfit.
Sigh.

There were 168 episodes. I don't think he shot somebody in every single one, but then there might have been a few stories where he fought against more than one bad guy. Maybe he shot 80 people? And killed maybe half of those? Dunno.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at April 30, 2021 09:58 AM (/XOcP)
Not sure if that's who you mean, but there's a guy named Dan Dunn who does that sort of thing, although I wouldn't call it photorealistic. He's a lot of fun to watch perform but the final work is kind of "meh." I would like to own one of his paintings but only if it were one I saw him make because then it would be a memento of the experience, of being there when the art happened.

I don't know that name so I DDG'd it. One result from pbs.org starts out:
Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1925, Robert Rauschenberg imagined himself first as a minister and later as a pharmacist.
Besides having the same home town as Janice Joplin, I found the idea of "imaging" oneself as a pharmacist amusing. As in "Bob, are you sure it's a good idea to take this stuff?" "Sure, I'm a pharmacist; trust me!"
