Absence of Focal Point (32)

Focal points are optional. The artist can choose whether or not the composition is about what is going on inside it or the composition as a whole. For instance, Jackson Pollock uses a splatter painting technique that does not include a specific focal point. Instead he wants the viewer to focus on the composition as a whole. In fact, he stopped naming the paintings so that the viewer could get more out if it, and create their own feeling from it.
