Magna (paint)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Magna paint)
Magna is the brand name of an acrylic resin paint, developed by Leonard Bocour and sold by Bocour Artist Colors, Inc. in 1947. It is very different from modern acrylic paint, as it is composed of pigments ground in an acrylic resin brought into emulsion through the use of solvents. Bocour Artist Colors developed a "true" acrylic paint in 1960 named Aqua-Tec. Modern acrylic paint is water soluble, while Magna is miscible with turpentine or mineral spirits, though both can dry rapidly to a matte or glossy finish.[1] It was used by notable artists Morris Louis, Roy Lichtenstein, and Friedel Dzubas.[citation needed]
