What is Spin Art ?
Spin art is an art form that primarily uses paint, a canvas and a spinning platform. It is primarily used to entertain and expose children to the process of art creation, although it can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
History of Spin Art
The Father of Spin Art, that is, the first known artist to produce, display and promote Spin Art, was Eugene R. Pera. He appeared on US broadcast network TV on the shows "What's My Line" and "I've Got a Secret" in New York City in 1958 and '59 with his "Painting Machine" which utilized a vertical spinning canvas at which he carefully lobbed the contents of small paint cans. The show's hosts, Jack Parr and Hugh Downs, as well as their celebrity guests, were enthralled. Mr. Pera's statement to the art world at the time was effectively, "We are living in the Machine Age. Since machines have taken over so many tasks previously done by the human hand, my Painting Machine enables anyone to make dramatic abstract art."
Since the 1960s spin art can be seen in the works of certain contemporary artists.
