Fractal Analysis: Revisiting Pollock's drip paintings (Reply)
R. P. Taylor1, A. P. Micolich2 & D. Jonas2
Abstract
Replying to: K. Jones-Smith & H. Mathur reply
Our use1 of the term 'fractal'2 is consistent with that by the research community. In dismissing Pollock's fractals1, 3 because of their limited magnification range, Jones-Smith and Mathur4 would also dismiss half the published investigations of physical fractals5. On the basis of previous debates on limited-range fractals5, 6, 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.
