An art idea came to me on reading this quotation in the New York Times this morning: “Nobody did drip paintings after Pollock.”

How about doing miniature drip paintings, so tiny and precise but still with some kind of calculated abandon, using wee little brushes and paintpots.

I think they could be cunning — as long as they didn’t look like refrigerator magnets.

They would certainly turn the tenets of “abstract expressionism” on their heads///
