Having just watched the utterly brilliant 'Pollock', staring Ed Harris & Marcia Gay Harden, I have come to the conclusion that it truly is a fantastic film and better yet, gives an accurate look into the famous American painter's life.
Isn't it funny how some of the most brilliant people, are some of the most tormented (Stephen Hawking, Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and of course, Jackson Pollock)? It's really quite an interesting thing - here's a guy who was a brilliant artist, but was never satisfied with anything he did in his life. He was a perfectionist, but also an alcoholic.
Anyhow, on the subject of art and artists, I wanted to take some time to display some artwork from my personal favourite artist, Ed Mell.

Great paintings, have never heard of the artist before. Most Artists aren't academic achievers but then again art and talant has never been about textbooks and algebra=)
That's true about artists and yes, Ed Mell's paintings are indeed great!
Thanks for stopping by Hassan. =)
