create microscopic
cracks in your outer
skin, leading to irritation and loss in hydration, according to Dr. Zeichner.
By the 1970s Poons
created thick -
skinned,
cracked and heavy paintings referred to as Elephant
Skin paintings; while Christensen sprayed loops, colored webs of lines and calligraphy, across multi-colored fields of delicate grounds; Ronnie Landfield's stained band paintings are reflections of both Chinese landscape painting and the Color Field idiom, and John Seery's stained painting as exemplified by East, 1973, from the National Gallery of Australia.
