all-over painting
all-over painting. A type of painting in which the whole surface of the canvas is treated in a relatively uniform manner and traditional ideas of composition—of the picture having a top, bottom, or centre—are abandoned. The term was first used in the 1950s with reference to the ‘drip’ paintings of Jackson
Pollock, and it has since been applied to other pictures in which the overall treatment of the canvas is relatively uniform, whether relying on texture or on ‘scribbled’ material, as with Cy
Twombly, or on colour, as with the
Colour Field Painters.
