Oddly the article is mostly attacking a style of art that doesn't even have anything to do with postmodernism in philosophy, and predates it by decades. Jackson Pollock is mainly a 1940s painter developing and responding to early 20th century trends in painting, not some kind of time-traveling artistic disciple of Jacques Derrida. You might as well throw in Picasso, Malevich, and Kandinsky if you want to criticize the 20th-century trend towards abstraction and non-representational painting.
