That's what a lot of people think, that's it's easy to whip out a Pollock.
No immitator - myself included, and I have tried - will ever be able to paint with the depth of emotion Jackson experienced.
I was painting in a style very similar to this long before I knew who Jackson Pollock was. It was a past girlfriend that told me my work looked like his.
Still didn't bother to look him up. Years later I was told again that my work looked like Pollocks. I decided to look him up. I was shocked. After intense study of the artist It put a severe cramp in my painting endeavours. I
tried to paint like him, but I was too conscious of him and thought people would belive I was trying to copy his style. I didn't want to fall into that.
It's been a few years since I painted like that. But I still have the best of the lot hanging in my house. Some were on canvases 8x10-feet or even longer. And I put a lot of feeling and emotion into them.
Still, they pale in comparison to Jackson's work.
Oh, by the way. You did a nice job on that. Forget what the pseudo-critics say.
