watching this short film is probably more valuable to understanding his art than actually looking at the art itself

I just started painting again after 30 years of being a photographer, and I agree with Jackson I love painting on the floor, this was a fantastic short film that I've never seen.

He always did whatever he thought right and was a pretty much tortured individual by his hopes and fears. His mind was unable to do really simple things like talk fluently make logical sense of things etc which tells me his other side of the brain, the creative side was really totally in control.
I dont admire him as a man ,he was a total drunk and nasty to people, but I admire him as an artist.

He felt like a total phoney about this film and comiited siucide by driving much too fast on a bend in road. Theres strong evidence he didnt want to die but wanted to up the ante in his outrageous drunken behaviour/. This time he didnt get away with it. his car left the road with 2 female passengers hit a tree and catapulted him out. He came to a stop when he hit a tree trunk dead on while flying through the air
One passenger killed one survived.

Funny eh? that logical side of the brain not working really stands out a mile away, but the other one doesnt stand out at all. they are all tax inspectors ,lawyers, accountants etc and appear normal.

your getting caught up in semantics. the point of my original comment is clear. i'm not going to argue a proven fact with someone that has no knowledge of the subject, and obviously horrible tastes in art. i'm not going to reply to anymore of confused rants.
