It’s always amusing to hear the Art Critics spank on about the meaning and emotion and thought in his works when really, he was just a very (at the time) unconventional-drunken-trailblazing-artist. I quite like some of his paintings, even ‘Blue Poles’ which hangs in the National Gallery of Australia, was purchased for $2 million in the 70’s, and caused enormous controversy at the time. I just take issue with modern price tags on works massively inflating the importance of artist’s contributions - not to mention the egos of art critics and the self-importance of the industry in general! Yes, it oftens seem like a mere industry. No ‘art-will-change-the-world-stuff’ really happening, I’m afraid.
