Like Jackson's flags. This one especially. The wife bout killed me when she found out I had mounted it on the side of the barn.

I also liked his canvas where he spuirted little multi colored worms of paint all over a white backround.

You must admit, Andy paints a mean soup can. He nailed it perfectly.

Warhol and Pollack were both pretentious hacks that prove that economic value and artistic value are entirely independent.

While you can call Warhol a lot of things, I don't think I would call him "pretentious".

The vibe I got from him is that he was sort of the Andy Kaufman of the art world, trolling the pretentious suckers who couldn't see the joke/forest for the trees

Leave it to a Pollack to just fling paint randomly onto a canvas and call it art.

They both suck. Ugly, meaningless art is part of the marxist plan. Pollack was the socialist son of a socialist.

quote:
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
