Jackson Pollack


I like this painting because it's looks like the inner machinations of my mind which are an enigma. It's very colorful and dynamic that seems to be ever changing.

It is also felt as the women in the background bathes fully clothed in the river. Although the women is placed in the background she is the same size as the three people placed in the foreground. Manet's placement of the women in the river emphasizes the nudity of the women in the foreground. When I look at the painting I feel as thoug...
