i was going to address this after skuj's picture. the problem with seeing little pictures of pollock's paintings on a bad computer screen connected to the 72dpi interwebs is that it gives us a false idea of the impact and power of these pieces as they exist in the physical world.
mark rothko often suffers the same fate, dismissed as a hack when reduced to postcards and tiny internet pictures-- his paintings are massive in scale, like some sort of 20th century menhirs, and their religious power only works when you stand in front of them and face them with your own eyes.
