My fav amongst Pollock’s. Have not seen any other piece of art that has so much energy . Truly a masterpiece. Hope I can see it in life.

Not only informative, but presented in a most interesting way. Definitely worth watching.

Really nice documentary. Early in the documentary when talking about abstract art after the war it cuts to MOMA in New York and from outside it's clear there was a Paul Klee exhibition inside. That exhibition was in 1950. A man and woman, clearly posed are looking at a painting inside. The man appears to be EJ Kaufmann jr , son of EJ Kaufmann who engaged Frank Lloyd Wright to build Fallingwater . Kaufmann jr worked at MOMA after the war and was director of industrial design dept. from 1950 to 1955.

Great eye for detail and interesting information about Kaufmann Jr.

The connecting black bars throughout are without question executed with a brush. Why is it so often said that a brush did not touch the canvas in these works?

If I were going to move a 100 million dollar painting, a boat would not be what I’d consider the best way.

Less traffic on a river ! Less bumps & bashes.

Is it just me or is the stuffy British art critic who uses the term "Muwal" just ridiculous in everyway?

[@VideoGrabaciones2010]

Masterpiece?

EducationalVideoRecordings: *YES it's a masterpiece, you have no idea the complexity of that work or art, it looks even difficult to the eyes, it's not a work of art that can be easily copied as a forgery.*
