Jackson Pollock?

The employee at the hardware store shot me a side glance when she found me reaching into a trash can with my iPhone to capture this shot. For a few strange moments I might as well have been at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City or any modernist gallery but I was in the paint department of Goody's Hardware in East Haven, Connecticut. That's right, the entire black plastic trash can was empty but lined with splattered paint in mostly red, yellow, ochre and white. It was a remarkable find ala Jackson Pollock, a fine example of accidental modernist art. Voila!

 

This is a view of one interior side of this trash can.
