I liked the Kandinsky painting better because it is more colorful. Kandinsky uses all different colors, shapes, and sizes, where Pollack uses browns and blacks in his painting. Pollack's painting is more pleasing to look at because it flows together easier. The colors are all within the same neutral palate. Pollack's splatter paint technique also meshed the colors together nicer than the shapes Kandinsky uses. Pollack's is more organic which makes it easier to look at than the sharp geometric shapes of the Kandinsky painting.
