  2. Hmm, dropping the paint onto a canvas erratically is the fundamental structure of the universe? There may be a fract or two missing there.

  3. You will like it, Charles. And I'm betting Lana too. It is on Netflix.

    Oscar, I've found it head-scratching that other painters have not been able to duplicate Pollock's "erratic" nature. And after watching this documentary, I developed a deeper appreciation of his art and the fractals of trees similarities they discussed.
