Extraordinary Brush-Less Paintings

She then rotates the canvas to control the direction of the drips, making her paintings appear natural yet controlled. John Currin 1962- « Femme Femme Femme.

The word anthropomorphism was first used in the mid-1700s.[1][2] The word derives from the Greek ἄνθρωπος (ánthrōpos), "human", and μορφή (morphē), "shape" or "form". Dirt Art.
