Modern Art

Pollock was really interesting to me because I never fully understood his art. I had liked his colors and lines but never felt an emotional attachment. Learning about him and his past brings a new perception for me to his work. I feel his was trying to talk through his paint. He might have been trying to call for help or communicate his feelings. He may not have known how todo it in his words but through paint he could express it. Andy Warhall is an artist I am very familar with. I had the priviledge to see his collection at the Columbus school of art and design. I had always been a fan because his colors and the known images he used in his art. His collections are massive adn its hard to describe his work as you feel the intesity of it. But after watching the video , I feel he did it a lot of it for fame and fortune. Protraying only what we wanted to see and not being true to himself.

Questions:
1.Do you think Pollock was trying to tell us something in his paintings?
2. Do you think the pressure of the media drove Pollock to drink? then to his death?
3. Do you think Warhall felt art is dead because he completely reinvented himself for the art world? Or because of the mass media?
4. Do you think Warhall knew who his true self was?
5. Did drugs give the outlet of warhall's art aking process?
