Oil, who said Oil ........
Oil paint? Pollock often used house paint, in those days it was probably oil and full of lead to boot. For the record I think Ed Harris is a very underappriciated actor and he did a great job on this film, my comment was more along the lines of capturing Pollock's personal demons it's not like Ed had to paint on screen.

Art is an even worse analogy to audio than cars or food. Art relates to music not the reproduction of it IMNSHO of course. I worry when someone gets a little too aggitated over Rothko, Duchamp, Pollock, David Smith, etc. There's Albert Ayler, Coltrane, Hendrix, Messiaen, Xenaxis, etc.

Your work is very good BTW, pushing our comfort zones here and there once and a while is harmless.
Thank you.
While I buy more stuff from Kremer, I love Natural Pigments. Their founder, George O'Hanlon is my Nelson Pass. He revived the ancient "stack process" for making lead pigment so modern painters could attempt to mimic the old masters.
Talk about vaulted rhetoric, you should hear us talk about the qualities of paint.
Being from the country that bought "BluePoles", a very excellent thing to do, I'm also very taken with the piece, having seen it in person. There was an excellent piece in a documentary that explained why it works so well, why it appeals to our senses.

Nerdom has no bounds.
The handprint.com guy is the nerd of color.
I might invent some rubber devices that are moulded and fit behind your ear, between the back of the lobe and the head, to absorb any unwanted reasonabces in the ear lobes, and then make some $$ of some fools
Remember that plastic-cup-thing sold years ago to fit on the ear? It made sounds louder, like cupping your hand around the ear. They claimed it made music sound better. I think it was advertised in some audio magazine for a while.
On the topic of art, has anyone here seen the movie "Tim's Vermeer"? Amazing film. This guy wanted to prove a theory about Vermeer's work, so built a reproduction of the master's studio, filled it with items identical to those in a painting that is owned by the queen, and proceeded to paint a Vermeer even though he is not a painter.
Hard to believe, much as I want to...
Made by using an open "E" strummed across always cool Gretch Humbucker pick ups like John Fogarty's, now chilled to Bose-Einstein Condensate levels, the open E sonic air modulations inducing tiny vortexes in a secret resistor's crystalline substrate, magically transmogrifying it into magnetic monopoles, these able to realign electron particle-stream-waves so as to only pass along pleasant sounds.
Of course, the new monopoles are impractically heavy without the application of antigravitons, newly malleable with the use of Higgs particle manipulations.
So of course , the high price is quite justified.
And still cheaper than 100 year old brandy.
Wait- some or all of these unsubstantiated claims is/are not true.

Frank's post is a perfect example of how a little knowledge can lead you totally astray.
