The gloves are off in this week’s big fight over the fractal analysis of paintings by Jackson Pollock.
In the blue corner: Lawrence “Beam me up Scotty” Krauss from Case Western Reserve University and few pals who a few weeks back rubbished the idea that fractal analysis couold spot a genuine Pollock from a fake.
In the red corner: Richard “Drippy” Taylor at the University of Oregon and his mates who have come out fighting saying that Krauss’s analysis was oversimplisitic, misrepresented their earlier research and is just plain wrong in places.
So that settles it then.
