Niki de Saint Phalle, Shooting Painting (1961)
The emphasis on the violent gesture in post-war abstract painting culminated in Saint Phalle’s Shooting Pictures. She filled polythene bags with paint and enclosed them within layers of plaster against a blockboard backing. Spectators were invited to shoot at these constructions, releasing the paint. This one was shot by artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. The moment of action and an emphasis on chance were as important as the finished work.
Saint Phalle stopped making these works in 1963, explaining ‘I had become addicted to shooting, like one becomes addicted to a drug.’ (via)

Thank you Tumblr Followers.
Hello Tumblr,
I just want to say thank you very much for following me and re-blogging some of the things that interest me. This blog is very much in its early days and I use it as an inspiration, a source book of ideas, visual stimulus and a way of cataloging what I’m looking at on the web. My main blog where I post my work though is sarahsalm.wordpress.com where I post my art works, my research material etc. I would really appreciate if you could follow my wordpress blog too either by email or as another wordpress blogger. I know its a big ask but hopefully you’ll find it interesting.
Thanks very much for your time
