Pollock at MOMA

On Friday, STAC went to MOMA and for the first time, I really enjoyed going to a museum. I usually find museums boring and dull. But since I found a new found joy in splatter/drip paintings, I had artwork to look for. I found myself near Jackson Pollock's work for the majority of the time. I would find myself staring at the enormous splatter paintings for over 20 minutes. I could not even begin to explain why I observed the painting for so long. I got lost in the painting and my mind was set loose to think about everything and anything. My only wish is that I could have had a closer look at the paintings so I could look at the brush strokes and the have a better perspective of the texture of the piece. I hope to add more texture to my splatter paintings as I continue experimenting with it.
