"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

This work is well promising, and it makes you happy 'cause you know this will open a mistical period. So I never explained myself the involution of Pollock after 1950, after 'Lavander Mist'.

Not a 'nothing new'; but a 'regression' in emotionality and skills. Many reason, certainly: alchool, the cold respondance of critics to the new production. That's as interesting as his celebrated explosion ...
Oy vey - I think looks like someone dripped a bunch of paint on a canvas and decided to call it art. Phu Yuk!
For many years, I thought there was no point to his "technique" or the idea of adstraction. This changed once I stood in front of one of his peices in the Gallery of Modern Art in Washington. The color usage, overlapage, and composition struck me. The only description which I consider is fair is that standing in front of his work is like standing in a forest of color that constantly battles each other for your attention.
