Jackson Pollock Movie - Nikola Kalapasev

 When we watched the Jackson Pollock movie in class I felt inspired. I knew in the back of my mind who Jackson Pollock was, world famous abstract artist, but I never knew the extent to which he was an artist. To most people, abstract art is just nonsense. To me, it also is nonsense, since I have no artistic training and have no sense of whats right from wrong. But so much more goes into the abstract art scene that we don't even think about. In abstract art, there are techniques in which the artists abstracts from reality and creates something ultimately inspired by realty. However, in the movie you could tell that Pollock found his motivation and inspiration from within, and created something never before seen or even thought of. Seeming like he was doing nothing and everything at the same time, Pollock had a very intriguing and unique style of painting. And even though it was a painting of nothing, you could feel the painting, and the artist that was there. I think abstract art is really interesting because there is so much more to it than just random paint going here and there. Not only that, the power that goes into the painting is almost reciprocated to the audience and is felt.
