Another reference to my childhood memories of the National gallery of Aus in Canberra. The "Blue Poles"(1952) by Jackson Pollock. It is similar to other drip paintings by Pollock, with the addition of eight large vertical blue "poles" placed over the top. I remember visiting the gallery with my grandmother, who passed away some years ago. She bought a mounted poster of this abstract work and had it on her wall for many years. Inevitably, i inherited the picture and currently it sits in my room. So not only does this painting hold a significance in the current subject of art and abstraction, but it creates fond memories of my wonderful grandmother.
