Enamel paints are household and automobile paints that are formulated to be very fluid. They are typically opaque and rich in pigment, since they are designed to cover a surface in a single coat of paint. Enamels can use an array of different binders that include alkyd (a modified linseed oil), acrylic, latex, and oil. Abstract Expressionist artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning were among the first to regularly use enamel paints in making works of art. /Abstract Expressionist New York/ The Museum of Modern Art, October 3, 2010–April 11, 2011 MoMA.org/abexny Filmed by Plowshares Media © 2010 The Museum of Modern Art
