Ah....not exactly. He spread his canvas on the ground and dripped/drizzled/splattered paint on it. He didn't go around collecting used drop cloths and selling them.

You have got to be kidding?!

I think they ought to take a black light to those canvasses and see what else is on them. :Q :Q

The interesting thing about his stuff is that the paint isn't splattered randomly on the canvas.....it actually forms fractal patterns.

Heh.. my friend is in Italy right now and he snapped a picture of the Mona Lisa. I dunno how he snuck his DiMage (or however you spell it) 5.1mp digital camera in there.

Isn't the Mona Lisa in France?

Yup...in the Louvre in Paris.

In my humanities book, there was one of his paintings about 30 pages in, someone said "you gotta be kidding? Check this out!" At the same time, someone was looking at another painting, done 12 YEARS later, that was about 20 pages from the end. There was a short debate about which page the painting was on, followed by amazement that when you put them side by side, they're NOT the same painting, but are so close to being alike that you started wondering about the high end art community.

Correct... and you can walk right in with your camera -- no sneaking needed -- last time I checked.

Yeah, it's in a glass case, so you can snap away. I took photos of a bunch of stuff when I was there.

Well some people don't understand art. Some people think classical music is lame. What are ya gonna do?

Jackson Pollock's whole idea was that the process was more important than the finished product. Think deep about the process of painting for a few hours and maybe you can understand.

A 4 year old kid could not have accidentally made that. Give a child a drop cloth and house paint and see what he makes. Give an adult the same materials and see what comes out. It will be something completely different, and that image will be a direct projection of random electrical impulses in that person's brain, which we call "thoughts".

You can check out other photos by Andreas Gursky here. They had about 20 of them there.

I'm not sure what the big deal was about taking pictures without the flash on. If I had known it wasn't allowed I would have been a little more covert and got a couple different angles.
