William S. Burroughs - Shotgun Paintings

During his later years in Kansas, Burroughs developed a painting technique whereby he created abstract compositions by placing spray paint cans in front of, and some distance from, blank canvasses, and then shooting at the paint cans with a shot gun.

I'd never heard about this aspect of Burroughs' work before but it fits with the image I have of him. I always learn something new at Uncertain Times.
