 Jackson Pollock produces pieces of art that represent pure intuition. Many people that try to place meaning into his work don't understand this. It's subconscious art - produced with specific techniques. If you don't "get it" then you probably don't understand that the genius of it is the meticulous execution of his technique. Some of it works and some of it doesn't. But personally, I've seen a handful of his art pieces and what really grabs me is his earlier stuff before he started splattering. he was painting canvasses with gestural and figural wide-brush strokes and that was much more immediate and revealing. Check that out if you can.
