Interestingly, while in Venice last summer at the Peggy Guggenheim
House
which is now a wonderful museum, I fell in love wth a magnificent
painting.
It was just breathtaking! If I had to catergorize it I would say
Kandinsky-like. Well, you guessed it- a genuine Jackson Pollack- pre-
Jack
the Dripper! I thought to myself- he really was talented! IMO,
Pollock was
a victim of the art critics and the media who made him famous.
