Research: Children’s Drip Paintings Resemble Pollock’s More Than Adults’

Not everyone appreciates Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, often dismissing them as childlike; however, a new study suggests that splatter paintings by children resemble Pollock’s work more closely than those by adults. This similarity may be linked to Pollock’s unique physiology. Richard Taylor, who first identified fractal patterns in Pollock’s art, faced criticism but later achieved validation through machine learning studies that accurately distinguished genuine Pollocks from forgeries. His recent research reports a 99 percent accuracy rate in this authentication process.
