Jackson Pollock became famous for producing art from splatters of paint. It's not uncommon to hear people viewing his art say: "my kids could do that".

But one must remember, at all times: art history is not the history of paintings, but the history of humans who painted.

With the growth of photography in the XIX century, art lost its goal of portraying reality. Add to this the tumults of countries, wars, the race to democracy, the liberalization of thoughts, ideologies, sexualities. Given all this, abstract art became a way for artists to create something new, to express the chaos and uncertainty of the modern world. From the XX century, in an unstoppable crescendo - to use a musical term -, artists distorted figures and lines, creating what today dominates the art world. Pollock's works are just one of the newest examples of this kind of paintings, because of what use could a perfect portrait be, when art lost its need for reality?
