Summary: Behind the barrier of unfamiliarity that can obscure the significance of abstract art, is a mode of expression rich with meaning and emotion. How are viewers to come to grips with the works of Jackson Pollock and other modern masters without falling victim to frustration or succumbing to the appeal of simply adopting the judgments of the art experts? This program introduces the appreciation of abstract art through a thoughtful deconstruction of Pollock's Summertime: Number 9A. Viewers are urged to develop a critical awareness of paintings' cultural frames of reference and a sensitivity toward their artistic forms in order to genuinely experience them for themselves.
