Pollock, Autumn Rhythm, 1950 Considered his mature style; uses a vary large, unprimed canvas and flings paint at it. He actually allows the drips to move away from the edge of the canvas, and more of it is seen. This is more of a tangled mass of line.   This means you can follow the lines through the paintings  Most house paints are in neutral colors by the 1950s

during my first ever survey of western art class, my professor explained the difference between historians and art historians. historians, she said, were interested in old things. art historians, on the other hand, were interested in old things of quality. you don't hang garbage up on the walls of a museum; it has to be substantial and it has to mean something. so here you go; old things, made mostly by dudes long dead, of debatable degrees of quality but always with a constant level of importance. think of this as a deck of flash cards... sans the whole cards part.
