## Caption

Polyester wasn’t just for fashion. In the art world, it marked the rise of alkyds—a fast-drying evolution of oil painting. First developed industrially in the 1920s, alkyd resins took off in the '70s thanks to artists like Arthur DeCosta, who introduced the first artist-grade alkyd medium.
