Peter,
Your speculation invoking the work of Pollock & Tobey as varieties of visual poetry quite stimulating. Hard to imagine that any artist more closely embodies the one I envisioned than you.

Truth is, for many years I lived about a mile from Jackson Pollack's house and studio, every day I would drive the road on which he died, where he crashed his car into a tree. I have studied his work thoroughly for several decades. He was an immense influence on my work and thought processes. His work , I believe is a form of automatic writing. Another painter that was a precursor to Vispo was Mark Tobey in the northwest woods of Washington State. His "white writing" paintings were clear examples of contemplative asemic works.
