InNOvative paintbrushes.

Look here for innovative paintbrushes and judge by yourself!

Paintbrush as all artificats always develops its form, becomes adapted to more specialized problems (corners, paint kinds etc.). But sometimes, as says Henry Petroski, among his different debations, in his book 'The evolution of useful things', form doesn't follows function, but starts to follow fashion. Reffering to words of Viollet-le-Duc who comparing vase and it's evolution, shows 'how the form can change first for the better and then for the worse', what fashion makes with present objects. 

 Nowadays the painbrushes rather keep its'  form since centeries and eventually change materials for more demanding liquids like solvents, varnishes etc.  However form of art paintbrushes don't change much, don't get useless decorations or deformations, what could be consider as a kind of love for this traditional tool, used, as it is now, by famous painters.

In nature.

The name 'paintbrush' was assigned to two popular in their places flowers:

Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja)

The flower is a state symbol of Wyoming

'The Paintbrush evoked the Native American legend of a young brave who tried to paint the sunset with his warpaints. Frustrated that he could not match the brilliance of nature, he ask for guidance from the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit gave him paintbrushes laden with the colors he so desired. With these, he painted his masterpiece and left the spent brushes in fields across the landscape. These brushes sprouted the flowers we now so wonderfully love!'

Devil's Paintbrush (Pilosella aurantiaca)

'Devil's paintbrush earns its name from its brilliant color and prolific reproduction; it is a highly visible and extremely pesky weed that can overcome croplands and irritate farmers.'
