a kind of mastery and order

Now here is a bunch of bulloney if I have ever seen it !

“Mathematics has shown that the paintings of US artist Jackson Pollock, currently on show at London's Tate Gallery, "reflect the fingerprint of nature".
They are not, as critics have said, "mere unorganised explosions of random energy".
"Mathematical models may be a way of attributing a kind of mastery and order, by shifting from an aesthetic, subjective mode of examination to a more objective, scientific one." Mignon Nixon”

Why? Why attribute a kind of mastery and order?

“The artist battled alcoholism and depression and is generally regarded as a self-destructive, tortured genius. He died in a car crash in 1956, aged 44.”
“Artist” ?
“Artist”?

Why? Why attribute a kind of mastery and order? I suppose Mignon would say the same thing about what passes for music. Beethoven for all his mastery did it to us. He invented Self expression in music.
What is the difference between modern art and a sunrise? When you look at a sunrise you know what it is. No one needs to attribute a “kind or mastery and order” to it. God did that. How can anyone attribute anything but “alcohol and depression” to Jackson’s canvas? The only thing that Jackson mastered was self expression, “self destructive tortured” self. A kin to what what’s his name from Holland who committed suicide put on his canvas. That is Not art ! !
Francis Schaffer it was who said that modern man can not live with his “convictions”. (WARNING ! Before you are convinced of something be sure that you will be able to live with it ! )
Still I wouldn’t mind ten percent of Jackson’s mastery or even one percent, that would be one and a half million dollars. That Kind of mastery I understand. (One of his canvases just sold for close to one hundred and fifty million)
