I didn'y really 'get' Pollock until I did the whole Jackson Pollock Jazz thing but Norman Rockwell's The Connoisseur, as though by commandment, really helped me to place Pollock's work in the proper pantheon of art history instead of being the 'oddball hack' that so many unimaginative dead-weights (e.g. Keeping It Boring) exceptionalize him to be.
