Magna on canvas

This piece was one of Morris’ first uses of magna paint. Louis would use unstreched canvas put onto a hard surface that was than put up against something (in order to make it lean). Louis would then pour the magna paint from the top of the canvas and allow gravity to move the paint in whatever direction/way it desired.
