Karl I think, even with an understanding of art and several art history classes in university, it is difficult to tell the difference between a random splash of paint and a painting by Jackson Pollock.

If I recall correctly, there is a method: zoom in. Pollock's paintings are remarkable in that they tend to display the same amount of entropy no matter how much you zoom in (well, up to 100, actually). Like a fractal.
