Understanding the context of art is frequently as important as direct experience. Jackson Pollack has been decried as an alcoholic fraud by some, but like Da Vinci, it is the techniques he pioneered as much as his works that are fascinating. There was a study that claimed he (Pollock) represented fractals, even Chaos theory in some of this work. http://phys.unsw.edu.au/phys_about/PHYSICS!/FRACTAL_EXPRESSI...

On a tangent, this is the soundtrack to the eponymous movie, Pollock by composer Jeff Beal. Give it a listen, while taking a look at some of Pollock's catalog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD0nFjjUCQo&list=RDoD0nFjjUC...

Like nwatson, I wasn't moved the first time I saw Mona. But understanding her history brought her to life the next time we met.
