- Title
Fractal Analysis: Revisiting Pollock's drip paintings (Reply).
- Authors
Taylor, R. P.; Micolich, A. P.; Jonas, D.
- Abstract
Replying to: K. Jones-Smith & H. Mathur replyOur use of the term 'fractal' is consistent with that by the research community. In dismissing Pollock's fractals because of their limited magnification range, Jones-Smith and Mathur would also dismiss half the published investigations of physical fractals. On the basis of previous debates on limited-range fractals, a fractal description is particularly appropriate for Pollock's patterns because it is physically reasonable and because it is useful for condensing the description of a complex geometry, as we now describe.
