Why is BallPoint Pen Art the most undeveloped art movement in history?
The inventor of a ballpoint pen was Mr. John J. Load a citizen of the United States, residing at Weymonth, in the county of Norfolk and Common Wealth of Massachusetts, patented the first ballpoint pen. J.J. Load patented the first American ballpoint pen on Oct. 30, 1888, registration No. 392,046. In 1938 the Hungarian Biro brothers out of Argentina retooled and manufactured such an instrument worldwide.
The Bic Pen Company bought out that Biro patent and thus far sold 100 billion of those ballpoint pens worldwide. Needless to say Bic redesigned that pen and today it out sells all other models. A ballpoint pen is the most sold, used or popular writing or drawing instrument in history yet undeveloped as an art medium or movement. How can the most used art medium or instrument in history go unrecognized?
A ballpoint pen has the subtlest half-tone line, longest flowing lines and darkest rich multi-colored inks in history plus billions of users. How can such a great art medium go undeveloped?
