Robert Motherwell and Others...
This will hopefully complement the 'Architects' thread. Photographs of Motherwell, Pollock, Rothko etc. would be welcome.

Let's hope those loafers were cheap and cheerful (possibly not the right way of describing Jackson Pollock)...

Re: Robert Motherwell and Others...
I watched a very interesting programme about pollock's work, and the mathematics surrounding fractals. Did anyone else catch that?

Re: Robert Motherwell and Others...
Nothing to do directly with 'Ivy League', but Still apparently detested the International Style just as Hockney deplored the influence of the Bauhaus people. This I find interesting: conflict rather than harmony/understanding within an overarching 'Modernist' context. I also find it refreshing.
This comes towards the end of David Anfram's excellent study of Abstract Expressionism, in which clothes are just about the only design product not granted a specific reference. Names ranging from Walt Whitman to Charlie Parker, from Norman Rockwell to Gilbert and George and even Cary Grant in 'North By Northwest' do crop up.
I'd say this is essential reading for anyone interested in the period in which Ivy style grew, flourished, dominated. And didn't Jackson Pollock paint in his Weejuns?

Velux was one of your creations wasn't he, AFS. Your creative talents are wasted here. (Mine too.)
some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: Robert Motherwell and Others...
A serious question. Was Abstract Expressionism purely an American phase of painting and sculpture? If so, why?
