Jonas Mureika, professor of physics at LMU, contributed to research that used fractal analysis to study Jackson Pollock’s distinctive drip painting style. The study analyzed paintings created by adults and children using Pollock’s pouring technique, revealing that children’s work more closely resembled Pollock’s originals. Fractal analysis examined how drip patterns were distributed on the canvas and the size and gaps formed between paint paths, offering insights into the biomechanical factors that influenced Pollock’s unique artistic style.
