this is true. Pollock in person is on another planet. there is a room of just Pollocks in the Guggenheim in Venice that was like bliss. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 17:56 1
- another one who's better in real life is Rothko. it's like a meditiation. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:06
some of the modern stuff is more about the idea of doing it, than the actual work. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 17:54 5
- that I usually don't have much time for. I'm a big fan of the surrealists, though. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 17:55 3
  - for me it's a great big "it depends." I think a lot of it is just crap. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:07 2
    - true enough. But that's still where I gravitate to. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 18:14 1
      - I like the surrealists a lot, but they are not my fave. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 18:25
- Or the color, or the canvas, or the art of looking, or... -- nm - the liioulu with extras Nov 13, 17:55
