Jackson Pollock- Throwing paint about

Jackson Pollock's paintings avoid any points of emphasis or identifiable parts within the whole canvas and therefore abandons the traditional idea of composition in terms of relations among parts. The thing that I like about the paintings are they abandon the traditional idea of painting and therefore his paintings dont't look like anything, but when you look closely the dripping paint makes its own imnages, shapes and lines so then it becomes an image in its own right.
Although his work doesn't really realate to my work he does represent everything that I love about paint, the physical side of the material and the rawness of the work.
