Jackson Pollock Honored in New Animation

In an epic animation by Chez Eddy, modern artist Jackson Pollock is featured as the subject.

Jackson is not represented in a realistic manner, but rather represents an art thief that uses the creative talents of others as the basis of his evolution.

What's not completely clear is the intention of Chez. On the one hand,the video could be of the opinion that Pollock was not a creative genius, but rather built himself up on the backs of other artists. This may stem from the dated news that modern art was used as a CIA weapon during the cold war.

Artists like Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning are all documented in the discovery.

This gives more fuel to the fire of the popular belief that modern art as a medium is something of a scam, with wildly simplistic paintings selling for millions of dollars.

On the other-hand, as an video that pay homage the artist, Pollock finally finds his own voice in art history.

Juxtapoz posted the video and describes the video with:

Jack is a strange character. Jack steals paintings from museums to eat them. He feeds himself with the artistic process of the painter. But one day, the museums are closed and he will have to paint by himself to survive...

Jack discovers his throw paintings by getting upset at a painting of a fruit bowl. He then takes a bite of the artwork and he becomes the art itself. See the video here.
