Autumn Rhythm

Semiotics in Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm


Book Description

Jackson Pollock’s work was that of a genius. His painting style was not merely improvisational – it also incorporated characteristics reminiscent of those artists and authors who engaged in the practice of writing and/or painting in the style of stream-of-consciousness. Drip after drip, smear after smear, mixing the two – these techniques cumulatively defined the greatness of his work. Loyal to his art and chronically dissatisfied with his performance, he lengthened his artistic stride to further his aesthetic interpretation of the world in which we live.




Rhythm of the Road


Book Description

The open road has owned my heart for as long as I can remember. Until I sassy little singer stole it. Hookups don't lead to happily ever afters. A couple nights together. Nothing more. We made no promises. Our worlds couldn't be more opposite. She's all sunshine and sweet lyrics. I'm danger and destruction. She's miles away and but all I see when I close my eyes. The rhythm of the road is what I need to settle my mind. Problem is, it's taking me straight to her.
