Comparing human responses to visual stimuli of fractal dimension similar to Jackson Pollock's works. Notably, the fractal dimension is remarkably similar to that of forest landscapes.

Not mentioned: do amateur paintings by others with the same techniques as Pollock produce features with a similar fractal dimension? My question is intended as a proxy for investigating how much of Pollock's quality is integral to the method regardless of artist skill.
