"The splayed-out, lava like quality of painting today indicates a desire to move with the freedom and abstractness of pollock without succumbing to a result that can be reduced to a whole defined by a coherent, continuous surface." (Stella, 60)
Stella indicates that the art today strives to be like pollocks, in which there is no absolute definable form. This allows a work to be viewed in multiple ways, invoking a reaction unlike a painting that has defined shapes.
