How Art Arrived at Jackson Pollock

posted by Jason Kottke   Jun 26, 2019

From Evan Puschak, this explanation of how art went from almost fully representational painting to abstract impressionism in about 100 years is a 6-minute whirlwind tour of modern art, from Édouard Manet to Jackson Pollock's drip paintings. I always love when Puschak dips back into art...the first video of ever posted of his was about Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Socrates.
