Uncertainity
When you gaze upon a Jackson Pollack for the first time
Instantly your mind begins to ponder
What was he thinking?
Where was he going with this?
Can you even call this art?
Who knows what he was thinking, it's not like you can ask him
Did he have to be going somewhere with it?
And yes, you can most definately call his work art.
Art, to many, has to have structure
Has to have specific meaning
But, honestly who declared those to be the rules.....
Even better, who dare slap rules onto art.
Jackson Pollack may have broken the "rules"
But in reality, he showed art in it's rawest form
Art is meant to be whatever you want it to be in that moment
When you gaze deep in the masterpiece of Pollack
Whatever you are feeling, whether it lys upon the surface
Or barried deep with in your subconscious
Your emotions and desires are releashed threw art
It is easy to quickly label art as something that you want it to be,
But just because you place a label on it,
Doesn't mean that you can block it's true statement
And that is whatever you need it to be
So go on, for those of you who seek the truth
Have a look, I dare ya
