Aristotle Viewing Jackson Pollock

This is not true art. This is simply paint splattered on a canvas. There is no recognizable form; it does not imitate nature. True art comes from the human affinity for imitation, and I see none of that here. It does not convey rhythm, language, or harmony--the necessary elements of real art. There is nothing here that portrays our human nature. Good art should do this. Whether is be positive or negative, comedy or tragedy, art is brought to life through the expression of human nature. Through art we should come to realize a true idea... I see none of that here. Simply paint splattered on a canvas.
