I do consider Pollock art, and abstract art liberated my mind when I was in a creative rut a while back. More anons should look at it for inspiration.
That said, I've never cared much for Pollock and at this point I've seen his paintings in person even, and still don't like them. Rothko too. Don't go thinking you have to like a piece of art just because it's art. Clyfford Still, a contemporary and friend of Pollock and Rothko, used to bully the fuck out Rothko for making shitty crap, but he liked Pollock to the end. I'd take Clyff over either but he's not my favorite either.
Personally I want to see abstraction that pays attention to positive and negative space, that has, you know, a focal point, some notion of composition; instead of Pollock's great big sloppafests that are supposed to be impressive on the basis of their "randomness" and "process" (i.e. muh action painting).
Half the fun is finding out your personal taste.
