Anyway the renowned local artist had an unusual style for producing his big canvases. He would paint the body of a young nude woman and then she would roll on the canvas leaving paint to produce the art. Let me just say that abstract puts it mildly!

This definitely brings that to mind.

http://www.yvesklein.org/ was doing that nearly 45 years ago. go to "works"

Also Matisse once said something about painting with his cock, figuratively, I'm sure.

I'll have to look that up.
