Jackson Pollock's splatters really do look nicer than mine.  Make your own Pollock painting at www.jacksonpollock.org.  It's fun....a puzzle to figure out how it works, then more fun creating your masterpiece!

Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist)

"It is impossible to make a forgery of Jackson Pollock's work," Time magazine critic Robert Hughes claimed in 1982. It is a telling comment that gets to the heart of Pollock's authenticity as an artist." Lavender Mist about sums up his most ravishing, atmospheric painting....Pollock used the patterns caused by the separation and marbling of one enamel wet in another, the tiny black striations in the dusty pink, to produce an infinity of tones."
