In my opinion, in the definition of materiality, affect, and site are influence each other. The artist did not only present their work on a piece of paper, but can explored and extend their work by using different media, technical to create and represent the greatest composition.
However, I very impressed about artist Jackson Pollock, he used different color paints such as basic oil paint red, blue, yellow, green, etc. Then sprinkled on the canvas or the paper, and to look through his compositions, it all without the subject matter and the clearly forms. Also it did not have any figures and strong lines showed in whole construction. I thought he made so many mass drawing without used the paint brush to paint on the surface, and he just waved both his arms and held the brushes with some of wet oil paint, and sprinkled the paints on the papers or canvas surface. It produced the special and powerful effects that the paints were combined together, some of the color has lost the original color, but the whole compositions looked busy, tidy, even the tense which obviously to present the artist spent a lot of time to created the strange forms without the fine lines, he just like Da Da Art style and the surrealist who influencing the 20th century of contemporary art. No matter the crazy and the mass paintings, Jackson Pollock was created the particular modern art, then used different type of paint technique to built up the strange forms.
Overall, except the Jackson Pollock, there are lots of artists makes the great masterpiece that influence the modern art history, and created the new and fresh pieces of works which attracts many people’s vision. Therefore, used different kind of media to make the festinate works.
