Number 9: Jackson Pollock (or how to use someone elses art to attract attention to your own incoherent ramblings)

It is Jackson Pollock's birthday today. He is an artist who evokes reactions ranging from "Phenomenal" to "My 5 year old could do that". I do like his work, particularly the bottom two pieces below. That being said, I know close to nothing about painting or any visual art really. Point is, what do you think about Jackson Pollock? Does it frustrate you that a google search of his name yields 1,450,000 results? Does his art move you? As you're reading this do you feel like you're being assigned an essay? Any response is a good one...(I was going to go into some long thing about how there is a connection between me saying that any response is a good one and my capacity to tolerate splattered paint on a canvas as art but I didn't think you'd find that interesting.)
