“It is sort of the Jackson Pollock School of Prosecution.She threw it all against the canvas.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Hurley, US Constitutional law expert.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Court Painter’s<\/strong> team of researchers has determined Mr. Hurley was dead wrong about Jackson Pollock’s painting technique .He was not a thrower of paint against the canvas! (see research article<\/em> where no evidence was forthcoming that determined Pollock ever threw it all (his paint) against the canvas…drip, pour, weave, fluid mechanics yes…the movements of painterly poetics…but not with the crude throwing or Hurley hurling that only a lawyer would conjure up.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore Hurley’s criticism of Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis’ 98 page indictment against Trump and criminal associates is declared null and void by the court of Court Painter for a weak and poorly researched analogy ! May Trump’s ample ass find itself in the Big House asap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court Painter Studio Institute & Foundation is known for keeping a watchful eye on all forms of analogical & metaphorical use and abuse of famous artists and their techniques.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson Pollock is seen NOT throwing <\/strong>it all at the canvas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists reveal the physics of Jackson Pollock\u2019s painting technique<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A study finds that Pollock\u2019s \u201cdrip\u201d technique was geared to avoid a classic fluid mechanical instability, whether he was aware of it or not. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROVIDENCE, R.I.<\/strong> [Brown University] \u2014 The celebrated painter Jackson Pollock created his most iconic works not with a brush, but by pouring paint onto the canvas from above, weaving sinuous filaments of color into abstract masterpieces. A team of researchers analyzing the physics of Pollock\u2019s technique has shown that the artist had a keen understanding of a classic phenomenon in fluid dynamics \u2014 whether he was aware of it or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE<\/a>, the researchers show that Pollock\u2019s technique seems to intentionally avoid what\u2019s known as coiling instability \u2014 the tendency of a viscous fluid to form curls and coils when poured on a surface.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike most painters, Jackson Pollock went through a long process of experimentation in order to perfect his technique,\u201d said Roberto Zenit, a professor in Brown University’s School of Engineering and senior author on the paper. \u201cWhat we were trying to do with this research is figure out what conclusions Pollock reached in order to execute his paintings the way he wanted. Our main finding in this paper was that Pollock\u2019s movements and the properties of his paints were such that he avoided this coiling instability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pollock\u2019s technique typically involved pouring paint straight from a can or along a stick onto a canvas lying horizontally on the floor. It\u2019s often referred to as the \u201cdrip technique,\u201d but that\u2019s a bit of a misnomer in the parlance of fluid mechanics, Zenit says. In fluid mechanics, \u201cdripping\u201d would be dispensing the fluid in a way that makes discrete droplets on the canvas. Pollock largely avoided droplets, in favor of unbroken filaments of paint stretching across the canvas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to understand exactly how the technique worked, Zenit and colleagues from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico analyzed extensive video of Pollock at work, taking careful measure of how fast he moved and how far from the canvas he poured his paints. Having gathered data on how Pollock worked, the researchers used an experimental setup to recreate his technique. Using the setup, the researchers could deposit paint using a syringe mounted at varying heights onto a canvas moving at varying speeds. The experiments helped to zero in on the most important aspects of what Pollock was doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can vary one thing at a time so we can decipher the key elements of the technique,\u201d Zenit said. \u201cFor example, we could vary the height from which the paint is poured and keep the speed constant to see how that changes things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The researchers found that the combination of Pollock\u2019s hand speed, the distance he maintained from the canvas and the viscosity of his paint seem to be aimed at avoiding coiling instability. Anyone who\u2019s ever poured a viscous fluid \u2014 perhaps some honey on toast \u2014 has likely seen some coiling instability. When a small amount of a viscous fluid is poured, it tends to stack up like a coil of rope before oozing across the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of Pollock\u2019s technique, the instability can result in paint filaments making pigtail-like curls when poured from the can. Some prior research had concluded that the curved lines in Pollock\u2019s paintings were a result of this instability, but this latest research shows the opposite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we found is that he moved his hand at a sufficiently high speed and a sufficiently short height such that this coiling would not occur,\u201d Zenit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zenit says the findings could be useful in authenticating Pollock\u2019s works. Too many tight curls might suggest that a drip-style painting is not a Pollock. The work could also inform other settings in which viscous fluids are stretched into filaments, such as the manufacture of fiber optics. But Zenit says his main interest in the work is that it\u2019s simply a fascinating way to explore interesting questions in fluid mechanics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI consider myself to be a fluid mechanics messenger,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is my excuse to talk science. It\u2019s fascinating to see that painters are really fluid mechanicians, even though they may not know it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zenit\u2019s co-authors on the paper were Bernardo Palacios, Alfonso Rosario, Monica M. Wilhelmus and Sandra Zetina. The research was supported by DGAPA-PAPIIT-UNAM (IN108016) and ACT-FONCA (04S.04.IN.ACT.038.18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
