Strictly Critical Video: One Hour Looking at a Jackson Pollock Painting at MoMA<\/h1>\n

With this week\u2019s video, our two critics embark in a new direction: the hourlong single-work review.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a full hour at the Museum of Modern Art, they discuss Jackson Pollock\u2019s\u00a0One: Number 31, 1950<\/span>, one of the \u201cofficial masterpieces of American art\u201d by \u201cthe first American artist to affect world art\u201d (as they put it).<\/p>\n

Why do Gopnik and Viveros-Faun\u00e9 spend an entire hour discussing a single work? Because that is what art deserves. Consider that people spend weeks, even months, with a novel; hours with a movie or a play; and countless hours playing video games.<\/p>\n

Too often people literally take a spin around the room of a gallery or a museum and then dine out on the experience\u2014\u201dWe saw Pollock!\u201d They say. \u201cAnd Judd and Albers and Soutine!\u201d<\/p>\n
