I saw a documentary about Jackson Pollock and the amount ofemotion and energy he put into his spatter paintings. Shame he didn't realise that they were utter fucking shit, and everyone from the special school down the road had done the same but with special sticks attached to their heads instead of using a brush and a ladder.

but he was the firstand actually he was a very powerful painter..
go and see an actual one of his better ones and then say that - "Blue Poles" for example is great.

Blue Poles is on the cusp of his decline.By the time he died, he couldn't get arrested. His mid period of about 7 years was fantastic.

The documentary was about the arse-end of his career.I'm not a mad 'modern art is shit' type person. There is loads of stuff I love. I dug Hirst's dot stuff for exactly the same reason I dislike the work I saw in that documentary. It made me think. Hirst's work made me think "Cheeky bastard". Pollock's made me think "drunk man on ladder"
I'm totally out of my depth now, as I admit I've not seem much Pollock stuff. I'll stop now before I make an even bigger twat of myself.

about 1%of hirst's stuff is any good - same for pollock unfortunatelt.
Hirst pisses me off because he only comes up with a concept and then gets someone else to make it (who are then uncreditied).
He's just a cynical business man and a rippoff cnut. Hate him for that reason - he is ruining art for those who actually do anything resonable.
