Pollock the movie was good
Yes, Ed Harris did a great job with the material. And the 1991 Pollock biography is an excellent read. It's not just about Pollock. Like any great biography, it's also a history of the times. I learned a great deal about modern art in general and Abstract Expressionism more specifically. And while I'm not a fan of Abstract Expressionism, I did gain an appreciation for the artists who were struggling to take art in a new direction in the age of WWII and nuclear weapons

I can’t stand the art snobs that defend random crap
You could swap out most of those paintings for a high school art class and say they are from ____ famous painter and they would see for the same

Politically, it was a slap at socialist realism of the USSR.

There's a great documentary called "The Price of Everything" about the absurd world of modern art collecting.
It explains that sophisticated collectors can also use collecting as a way of building wealth without paying taxes.
Like antique furniture, they get a deduction, but the value keeps increasing.

Stuff like that is a rich man’s Jordan’s.
It’s a fricking stupid use of money

Nearly 200 million dollars for a goddam dropcloth.
There's a good reason people think modern art critics and collectors are effete buffoons.

This confirms my belief that most art is a money laundering scheme.

In the USSR, Pollock would have been sent to a gulag for that.
