People doing solely splatter-art aren't technically skilled though. They just aren't. Gerhard Richter did both complex and photorealistic stuff that took technical skill, and abstract stuff that did not. Jackson Pollock did abstract stuff that did not require technical skill and made a POINT of it not requiring technical skill. That is not to say that Jackson Pollock is not a good artist. Sheer, pure technicality and artistic merit are very different. It's like your talking about '77 3 chord punk and romantic/baroque/classical - both totally valid music genres and I listen to both a lot, but one requires lots of technical skill, and the other doesn't and in fact romanticises the lack of it.

So you're saying it can't function as a standalone medium on its own aesthetic merits without context
