Daub, splatter, drip and dribble
Article Abstract:
Artist Jackson Pollock has had a significant influence on designers, while art critics have generally been more cautious about the significance of his work. His work began to gain international recognition in the 1950s, when it was very common for artists to create designs for the textile industry. Pollock's action painting inspired many young designers, including Doreen Dyall, Fay Hillier and Nicola Wood. Interest in Pollock reached its peak in the UK in 1956 to 1959, following a series of large exhibitions focusing on abstract impressionism. His work is soon to be exhibited at the Tate Gallery in London, England.

Our modern age requires a new definition of beauty
Article Abstract:
A beautiful work must have an element of formal coherence and brilliance, with a formal language being handled in a relatively complex way. Beauty must involve an imaginative projection of a specific kind, giving an object attributes of perfection. It must also contain a new, stimulating idea, and its theme must be sufficiently significant for the work to be considered beautiful. Beauty is built on an emotion people regard as significant, or an idea they find to be essential to life. Frank Gehry's New Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, illustrates the synergetic interaction of all these elements of beauty.
