Has anybody ever described this one to you before? I hope I'm not repeating what someone already said. You're free to stop reading if you don't want it ruined because we're going to go pretty deep into it. Oh, you want it ruined? Okay then. After I show you what's in the painting you won't be able to unsee it.
Well anyway coming in from a very particular angle, and maybe not this one, there's a man with a hat dancing through all the lines in Pollock's Cathedral, right in the center almost you can't miss it, but don't get stuck looking at him, there's also a cat above him, a little to the left, with a parasol and no back legs, floating in midair like a genie, and she's watching over the dancing man, and it's hard to see all the worlds of flowers he's dancing on top of along with a woman to his right who is closer to the viewer than the dancing man, also stepping all over the flowers, and she has a more elegant and complex headgear, but fortunately for the man less complex thighs, and no matter what skeletons or ghosts are pulsing next to him, the dancing man comes back into view, so take that next step with the dancing woman and the owl on her shoulder who sees the skeletons that the man can only intuit, and the holy bugs floating above the machinery to the left here, and step down into this space of gestures with way too much meaning, and don't miss the lesson brothers and sisters, there's nothing in Pollock's Cathedral, that's why you can't stop looking, he's only there when he dances, and that's what Pollock was saying, start making your own damn art, what else do you want to see, swans with human heads dressed for combat, well we the artists are tired of having to draw these creatures for you and you still only see what you want to see, so he gave up and threw his brushes down in anger and couldn't help but create the accident that you're hopefully unleashing now in your mind through the dancing, and if things are starting to feel a little less tangled then that would just make sense as you see it now too, right?
