I think that some people miss the fact that in the generation that Pollock was in, artist, when they became working artist, were not trying to be the next Rembrandt, or the next Monet, or the next whoever. They were not working day in and day out at copying someone elses work excactly. Why would they? Copying a Rembrandt is pointless. They were trying to carve out new territory. I think that Pollock succeeded wonderfully. It triumph is creating a work that is not possible to exactly recreate, and it is pointless to try.
