In the hands of a master

Article Abstract:

Richard Taylor, a physicist, analyzed a selection of Jackson Pollock's poured paintings and found they were composed of distinct fractal patterns, made by dripping or pouring paint straight on to a canvas. The large-scale fractals are a fingerprint of the artist's body motion and the small-scale fractals are also to do with his choices, his height over the canvas, the fluidity of his paint, angle and force behind the trajectory.
