Jackson Pollock is known for creating works of art that some people may not consider "art". Pictured above is "Autumn Rhythm." The process of this painting is described:
"In 'Autumn Rhythm,' as in many of his paintings, Pollock first created a complex linear skeleton using black paint. For this initial layer the paint was diluted, so that it soaked into the length of unprimed canvas, thereby inextricably joining image and support. Over this black framework Pollock wove an intricate web of white, brown, and turquoise lines, which produce the contrary visual rhythms and sensations: light and dark, thick and thin, heavy and buoyant, straight and curved, horizontal and vertical."

This painting may appear similar to work by Jackson Pollock, but I'd say the process is quite different, and also fascinating. Curious? Find out here. Yikes !
