Hidden in Plain Sight?

http://www.artnewsonline.com/issues/article.asp?art_id=2747

This is an article about Jackson Pollock's work and how it has a Rorshach quality about it. There is an upcoming book about Pollock called Tom and Jack which talks about the relationship between Jackson Pollock and his teacher Thomas Hart Benton. But in this article, it speaks of how Benton found a signature in one of his works, and other things such as symbols in different pieces. It is a controversial topic because most scholars think this is crazy and that people are just looking at Pollock's pieces too deeply. It is a very interesting article that makes you look into crazy art like his for deeper meanings or images.
