That being said, I still find it hard to accept Jackson Pollock's droppings as art. I find more meaning in the patterns found on used bird cage liners.
But that's just me.

You know I felt just as you did about Pollock's drip paintings - until I visited MOMA and stood in front of one of his canvases (don't remember which number it was) - WOW! It's art.
You really have to see one of these in person to appreciate it.
