I think Jackson Pollock is one of the most creative painters of all time. Some people may refer to his work as childish finger paintings, and to each his own. To me, it is not what he paints, but how he paints. His personal style of expression is quite fascinating. Instead of attaching a canvas to an easel and having a vision, Pollock lives the vision, He takes his canvas, and spreads it out onto the floor leaving space to move freely around it. He likes to see the painting as it develops from all angles, and laying it out on the floor is the only way he feels he can ‘see’ the art. This would make more sense of his work to those people referring to it as childish crap. He’s a unique person that produces unique art.
This is really interesting to me as well. I think it is very creative for artists to stretch the limits of the natural domain and challenge the way things are conventionally done. Do you think these artists can be compared to artists like picasso because of their unique way of seeing the art or do you think it is the process that makes this creative?
ReplyDeleteI also agree that he is extremely creative. I would think you could compare him to Picasso in some way because they both have a different way of looking at art but I also agree with Kate that a big part of what makes this such a creative thing is the process. He came up with his own new way of doing something and that is definitely creative
