All Jumbled Up
Lines curve into faces and trace features,
ink a mask to hide his identity.
From a jumbled mess rises a creature.
Friend or foe? Can’t tell ’til the entity
emerges. A story coalesces
from the random chaos. A helmet lies
but no weapon, leaving only guesses
to how the masked man will cut it down to size.
An arrow bends into a square, circles,
crosses and a leaf are all jumbled up.
AÂ child’s scrawl, a treasure map or cycles
depicted by Jackson Pollack? No pup
like me could make sense of it, not without
an art degree. Even then it’s in doubt.

in response to Magpie’s picture prompt 290 for this week. Whatever school of art Jackson Pollack subscribes to it is not one I like or even get.
Ink and chaos–a big theme here.
Thank you, that was all I got out of Jackson Pollack. His art baffles me. 🙂
I can see this as well!
Oh good! I’m glad I’m not the only hallucinating some kind of sense from that drawing. 🙂
🙂 that makes me so happy
I like what you see…or don’t see…
Thank you!
I so wander what was in that picture… there is an element of ink-blot test, and just maybe it tells you more about the viewer than the artist.
I agree! I wondered the same thing
I think we all had our own ideas for this art that’s what makes this week so fun, what we all see in it for ourselves. Very enjoyable!
Thanks, though I would love to know what Jackson Pollack saw in it!
He was quite a messed up drunk I hear that was never happy. Can’t tell from his art can ya? Lmao!
Gorgeous
Thanks, it was an effort to make some sense of that Jackson Pollack piece. Thank God for prompts!
You did great!♡♡
Thank you! Though it still looks like gobbly-gook to me
We never see the real worth of our work. Fortunately others do♡
You’re so right. 🙂
🙂 great piece to describe the disconnect between some art and those looking at it…
