Drip painting is an abstract art form in which paint is dropped or poured onto a canvas. This style of action painting experimented with the first half of the twentieth century by artists such as Francis Picabia, AndrÃÆ' Â © Masson and Max Ernst, who used drops in his Bewildered Planet and Young Man's Stimulated by Flight from Non-Euclidean Fly (1942). Ernst used new ways to paint Lissajous characters by swinging a sack of paint punctured on a horizontal canvas.
However, the Drip painting found a special phrase in the work of mid-twentieth century artists, Janet Sobel and Jackson Pollock. Pollock found the painting drops to his liking; then using this technique almost exclusively, he will use unconventional tools such as a stick, a hardened brush and even a syringe to create a large and energetic abstract work. Pollock uses home or industry paint to paint his paintings - Pollock's wife Lee Krasner describes his palette as "usually a can or two... enamel, thinned to the point he wants, standing on the floor next to the rolled canvas" And Pollock uses a house paint brand Duco or Davoe and Reynolds. House paint is less viscous than traditional oil painting tubes, and Pollock creates a large composition horizontally to prevent the paint from drifting. Its gesture lines create an integrated whole pattern that allows the eye to travel from one canvas to another and back again.
Sources for drip techniques include Navajo sandpainting. Sandpainting is also done flat on the ground. Another source is the "painter" technique of Mexican muralist painters. The splash marks made by mural painter David Alfaro Siqueiros allow him to compose his compositions of many Mexican workers and heroes.
Contemporary artists who have used droplets include Jackson Pollock, Norman Bluhm, Joan Mitchell, Lynda Benglis, Rodney Graham, Ronald Davis, Larry Poons, John Hoyland, Ronnie Landfield, Dan Christensen, Etienne Roudenko, Giuseppe Fortunato, Ian Devenport, Roxy Paine, Pat Steir, Andre Thomkins, Zane Lewis, and Zevs.
