If you don't like it, you don't like it; doesn't matter who does like it or who painted it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618066295420401291.post-83596594428248326902009-04-25T12:08:00.000+01:002009-04-25T12:08:00.000+01:00We had a discussion in Common Room about this - de...We had a discussion in Common Room about this - definitely Pollock for me!!Steph Kirtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618066295420401291.post-16700094616533578992009-04-23T19:15:00.000+01:002009-04-23T19:15:00.000+01:00I'll be honest and say I didn't have you down as a...I'll be honest and say I didn't have you down as an art lover. So it's good to see you approaching issues of meaning and interpretation from an abstract angle.<br /><br />Personally, I'll take Rothko every time, so I'm sorry to say that our tastes diverge at this point. <br /><br />If I were in the mood for being playfully Jungian I could suggest you like looking for order amongst the chaos, while I prefer to find deeper meaning and potential amongst the neatly presented structures that already exist.<br /><br />As with most things in education, it all boils down to a matter of perspective, doesn't it?Sacha van Stratenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041060468903643437noreply@blogger.com
