Turns out Jackson Pollock studied art here in Los Angeles – I was also able to find five JP’s in the MOCA and LACMA museums. My friends Julie and Luis kindly took me around today, specifically to track down Jackson.
We found No. 1 in the Museum of Contemporary Art here. It’s angry and frustrated – has a different vibe that No. 31 in MoMA. Weird thing about the museum here is that there aren’t any benches to sit on, and they have this painting in a kind of entryway so it’s not conducive for sitting or standing in front of for long.
But JP is JP – and it was great to be able to see five of them in one day! I’ll try to post up photos soon!
