1. OK, this is fun, lots of fun

but no one has ever been able to reproduce a "Pollock" - he was painting fractals. People who just fling paint everywhere have noooo idea how complex his work really is/was.

3. WAY Fun!

And I totally agree. The difference between Pollack and some of his followers is in how much sense his work seems to have and how little theirs.

5. That's part of the point, it seems to me

Anyone who thinks it was just flinging paint around should try their hand, then compare, yes?
