A Comparative Analysis of Nam June Paik 's T .V . Buddha and

Jackson Pollock 's Lavander

All modes of inquiry correlate with each other due to their tendency to coalesce in their emphasis on issues regarding autonomy , justice , and politics .

It is also dependent upon the ahistorical positioning of the art form , since this allows the continuous creation of meaning for a particular text . This mode of relationship invokes the aesthetic character of art

Specific works of art that portray the above mentioned correlation between the aesthetic and political aspect of artworks are Nam June Paik 's T .V . Buddha and Jackson Pollock 's Lavander Mist . Both belonging to the postmodern genre , Paik and Pollock 's work exemplify art objects arranged , portrayed , or created in unconventional forms . Paik 's T .V Buddha , for example , portrays an antique Buddha statue watching his videotaped image on the screen . Pollock 's Lavender Mist , on the other hand , portrays a drip painting with a lavender effect produced...
