rewebster said:It's not that I don't like or appreciate Pollack's works, it's that I like other works more. A lot of 'jokes' were made about Pollack's work, as there has been about a lot of other 'art' that has been made and/or exhibited.
Do I have anything like Pollack's work hanging in my house?--no. Would I put the chicken, or the cactus in my yard? Well, I put the cactus in first about 100 times over the chicken, but that's from many, many years of dealing in one way or another with art, and I have a different appreciation for art that some others may have.

The Kandinsky seems to show more control of his thoughts. The term I'd use for Pollock's paintings would be "schizophrenic art".
Pollack's art is considered 'schizophrenic' compared to Kandinsky's because his paintings often lack a clear subject or focal point, and instead consist of chaotic and seemingly random lines and splatters. This can be interpreted as a reflection of the disorganized and fragmented thought processes associated with schizophrenia.
There is no evidence that Pollack had schizophrenia. While his art may be considered 'schizophrenic' in style, there is no indication that he suffered from the disorder himself. Pollack struggled with alcoholism and emotional instability, but there is no evidence to suggest that he had schizophrenia.
Kandinsky's art is characterized by bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors, often representing spiritual or emotional themes. In contrast, Pollack's art is more abstract and lacks a clear subject, with an emphasis on the physical act of painting rather than symbolic representation.
Yes, there are other artists whose work has been described as 'schizophrenic', such as Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dali. However, it is important to note that these labels are often subjective and based on personal interpretations of the art, rather than a diagnosis of the artist's mental health.
Pollack's art was initially met with controversy and criticism, with many viewing it as chaotic and meaningless. However, over time, his work has come to be appreciated for its unique style and influence on the abstract expressionist movement. Today, Pollack is recognized as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
