creased painting Explanation: Are you sure this refers to a style? It sounds more like the effects of time seen in the painting. See this site for an idea of what I mean. Subject: Creased oil painting Scenario: 1890 Indonesian Oil on Canvas (31" x 54") very brittle canvas, flaking paint layer, yellowed varnish, several vertical creases due to poor storage. No hot table available. Obviously it needs to be lined, but after working on small sections using wax/iron method, I can see that the creases are not going to flatten completely. OR: The painting has a place where it has been creased; the problem will probably be almost unnoticeable after framing. Reference: http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/1996...

peer agreement (net): +1to crumple - crumpled Explanation: I am not sure but it seems to be this. "Susan Roth is an artist of international reputation, recognized in 1980 for her daring break with the supposed modernist tenet of flatness with her crumpled and undulating canvas on canvas collage paintings" "I had some crumpled canvas nearby that got paint on it. The way the paint hit the crumples, it catches the high points, and the other side of the fold doesn’t hit, and when you stretch it out and iron it, it looks like this lifelike crumpled metal. I did some Christmas banners with that.” "Move from Pierre Bonnard's Lunch at le Grand-Lemps, a light-filled and welcoming ethereality, to Henri Matisse's gorgeous elevation of crumpled cloth and everyday crockery into a modulating play of colour relations and extreme presentness, taking in two terrific Edouard Vuillards and a fine (though wrecked) Paul Cézanne flower painting along the way. It is a beautiful display of early Modernist tinkering with genre." "During the early months of 1969 Ken Showell began the series of abstract spray paintings which he would become best known for as a painter. He would take large sheets of raw canvas or canvas that was thinly tinted and crumple them into seemingly random clumps (but in fact with a sensitive and canny painter's eye) and lay them in shapes across the floor of his studio."
