R.I.P. Jackson Pollock

Born January 28, 1912, Cody, Wyoming, U.S.
died August 11, 1956, East Hampton, New York

This day 51 years ago. He died needlessly, an alcoholic on the way down. Perhaps he could have revived his art, had he not been lured by the genie in the bottle.

Unbelievable

Astonishing.

Enduring Designs

This lamp design, for example, goes back to the 1930's. I wonder what will endure in 2077 from 2007. Anything?

Russian Sculpture

Tallest Guy's Shoe

Yup, it's the Ukrainian; tallest man in the world. Some pics here, with video too.
