Load of Pollocks

There was a story a while back about whether Jackson Pollock's name was hidden in his work

Yesterday, whilst moseying around the Tate Modern, I was looking at Lee Krasner's Gothic Landscape.

Wasn't even thinking about the above story, and suddenly the word 'Pollock' appeared before me.



You heard it here first, folks!

I've tried staring at it for ages.

Is it a sailboat?

I guess it's a Gothic Landscape.

Funnily enough, when looking at his work and other similar efforts, the word "Pollocks" does tend to come to mind almost immediately.

Ah, maybe you need to give it a bit longer than 'almost immediately' - approach with open mind, contemplate for a few minutes, look closely at details and it might just grow on you.

Well there you go. I emailed Henry Adams who came up with the theory and he emailed back which was nice.

He's got other examples - one he emailed me did seem to be very clear - and he is going to be doing some more work on it. I think I'm starting to be convinced
