Abstract expressionists , James Pollock created an abstract full of symbolically hidden messages , called The Portrait and a Dream , 1953 First impressions that are given off by this painting sends messages of confusion , anger , hopeless dreams , perhaps the inner thought and feelings of the artists when he made the abstract . The art work portrays someone who furiously scribbled many lines across the canvas in no controlled manner , working from hostile and angry emotions . If music was made to match this painting , it would not be smooth jazz or classical

br but like rap with an angry fast techno beat producing violence
When considering the title of the painting , and looking at the line arrangements , Pollock was telling a story about his frustrations over empty dreams . Dull , plain off color canvas is chosen as the background for this art . To the right is a very black and Halloween orange colored head , perhaps an indication of what is going on in his mind as he was painting or it could be a resemblance of him in his sleep at night .

On the left side , is many scribbled black lines , portraying confusion or despair . The black fills in some of the empty spaces overseeing the left side of the portrait . Most of the painting is hollowed or emptied just lines zigzagging and crossing one another . A couple of potential faces are drawn into the scrambled lines . One of the faces centers the overall portrait , another is found at the bottom right side . The face centering the portrait has clenched teeth , the eyes resemble anger . The potential face at the bottom right very much looks like a skeleton with cross bones , the national symbol for poison or danger
Looking at the overall view of this painting , the round colored object on the right of the painting is smaller than the confused lines on the left side of the painting . The drawing portion of the art fills up most of the space , dividing into two separate forms , lays against a solid...
