Rauschenberg's great isn't he?, he reminds me of Radiohead's Ok Computer artwork, he definetly inpired Donwood anyway. Im into the obvious ones too, but i like Lucian Freud's art, its fucking brutal, he paints flesh the way Cronenberg Directs flesh - its a slab of meat. |

I think Pollack would have been great had he done one splatter painting and then moved on. It was innovative and a stroke of genius, but not after he made a career out of it... just imo I like David Hockney alot.. he's probably my favorite artist. I also like those German Expressionists like Schieler and Ernst. |

Isn't that kind of like Autechre should have done one track of abstract electronica and moved on? |

I've actually done some Pollack style artwork. pollack might have moved on, you never know. but a fatal car crash prevents us from ever knowing. regardless i dig him, but i can see why some people don't enjoy his work. i did a watercolor pollack on a piece of ceiling tile, and a spraypaint pollack on a piece of plywood. as for rauschenburg, he IS amazing. not to mention underrated. |

I think Pollack would have been great had he done one splatter painting and then moved on Warhol basically only had one idea, that he just capatised on, you think he should of just packed up and left?..thats complete rubbish |

I guess this is more opinion. I contradict myself all the time.. however, with the examples of Autechre and Warhol respectively, I feel that they had more in their single idea(s) to justify keeping and exploring the idea. Warhol was concerned with mass production and the gradual rise to a machine-like state of being, hence the repetition worked within his own ideology so it seems. Autechre is exploring a style that has a similar sound but is hardly a rehashing of a concept. They have thousands of unique ideas within each piece. I suppose this latter argument could be made in defense of Pollock, but to me it seems like this was not so much an intentional exploration of the style he'd created but a gimmick he latched onto. I think he *was* being self expressive, I just think it was overdone. Maybe he should have showed a little self-restraint and done a series of three or four of them even, and then stopped after exploring several variations. I just think he went overboard. |

I how could he be truly self-expressive if he imposed self-restraint on his work? To me, Pollock was creating art in it's purest form by removing as much intellect from the process as possible. I don't know how you can move on from that. In fact, I think that had he done anything else it would have been a step backward. |

i'm not really familiar with his whole body of work, but i really like the concept behind what he does, and about 90% of the things i have seen by him are totally awesome. |

I give Pollock kudos for being self-expressive and making almost completely pure expressive works.. however I find that too much is wrapped up in the process of its creation and not the art itself. If one is analyzing it from simply a self-expressive point of view, it would've been more suited to a documented performance art more like Joseph Beuys. Aside from art vs. process.. I think that the works would have been more effective if he had showed some self-restraint. Maybe this would've hindered his expression, maybe not. I think that refinement can kill ideas. However, a lack of refinement can also be very sophomoric, not to mention can alienate viewers and exasperate even patient audiences. I like what he was trying to do, I guess it's just not my cup of tea. Like I said I prefer German expressionism and later some minimalism, pop art, etc. |

as far as pop art goes... i really enjoy stuff by Brute, the dude who does all the KMFDM cover art... his website has a lot of cool stuff too... on the abstract end of things... there's this dude called Frank Jenkins who's pretty cool... kind og Pollackesque... with textures coming right off the canvas... my Grandfather has this huge picture by him on his wall at his apartment (he's an arts dealer)... it's cool how different this picture looks from every angle... my sister says it looks like a pickle in a tuxedo... |

Zdzislaw Beksinski... can't remember who it was that mentioned him before, but I was instantly enamoured. And of course Dali/Giger/Cunningham. I think I'll take an art course this year, I want to get more knowledgable and cooler on this subject. |
