I saw Pollock's drip work in a gallery for the first time a few days ago, and it's the first and only art that really resonated with me. It looks like how a lot of music I enjoy sounds, if that makes sense.
It's baffling to me that someone could think his work is just random noise. (A lot of other abstract art in the same gallery, some clearly inspired by his, seemed much closer to that.)
Forgeries can be programmatically identified because authentic Pollock drip paintings contain ratios and fractal patterns often found in nature: https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/pollocks-fractals https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/pollocks-fract.... (It's likely he wasn't trying to do anything like that intentionally; he just intuitively made what he felt would look good.)
