I still don't understand how people can let their paintings do their own thing. Whenever I paint on a canvas I feel like I am controlling way too much the flow of the drips of paint and the splashes. Mark Toby was an American painter from Wisconsin who focused mostly on abstract paintings. He is also well know for his 'white writing' which is a sort of caligraphy on abstract fields. Apparently Toby's painting Bars and Flails inspired Pollock's Blue Poles.
