...with paper napkins, plaster milk, and on an ordinary cafeteria tray really strikes the literary more than the visual funny bone. And Arneson's gawky earthenware bathroom sink is so literary that it even has a punchline-the brown splotch in the bowl is labeled "hard to get out stain...
...expressive possibilities of color." To do this, he laid a 6-ft. square of canvas on the floor and walked around it until he lost track of its top and bottom. He decided that the "most neutral" place to start from was its center, and proceeded to pour, stain and swab paint in concentric circles outward. Noland played with half a dozen colors in such target paintings, devising hundreds of dashing combinations. He moved on to chevrons, then to diamond-shaped canvases. Since 1967, he has been painting majestically flowing, horizontally striped rectangles that enable him to orchestrate as many...
...painterly tradition derives from Pollock, De Kooning and Kline, and Frankenthaler can be called an heiress of it. She might also claim to be something of a pioneer. In 1952, when she was only 23, she developed her "stain technique" as an extension of Jackson Pollock's method of skeining swirls of glossy Duco enamel onto a canvas spread upon the floor.

...Split. It was after a 1952 painting expedition to Nova Scotia that Frankenthaler painted Mountains and Sea, a wonderfully warm and gentle abstract landscape in which for the first time she developed the stain technique. She moved her canvas onto the floor and began to use her shoulder rather than her wrist, employed paint cans rather than palettes, and a sponge as well as a brush. With a few minor variations, she still uses the technique today. It enables her to play unendingly with soft, airy, graceful forms...
...housewives still do their wash at home. To brighten, if not lighten, their washday loads, they buy more than $1 billion a year worth of bleaches and bluing agents, starches and softeners, disinfectants and detergents. Now the home laundry market is churning with a new line of stain removers called enzyme pre-soaks. Competition in presoaks has locked two giant soapmakers-Procter & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive-in a classic marketing battle. It has elevated their rival products, P. & G.'s Biz and Colgate's Axion, to the status of household words...
