Liquid Paper Office Wall Art by Betsy Crum

Liquid Paper was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham, a Dallas secretary who mixed the first batches in her own kitchen in 1956 — tempera paint, an old blender, and a lot of trial and error. Her son helped fill bottles as a kid. That son grew up to be Michael Nesmith of The Monkees. So somewhere in there is a genuine only-in-Texas fact: the correction fluid on every desk in America and a 60s pop star share the same kitchen table. That's a better origin story than most objects hanging on most walls can offer, and frankly it's a little weirdcore all on its own. Betsy paints the bottle as pop art, an icon rather than a supply-closet item, because for a couple of generations that is precisely what it was.

It is the rare piece of office wall art that is actually about offices. Put it over a desk, in a study, or in a home office where everything else in the room is serious. As a pop art print it also holds its own in a hallway, or right alongside the rest of weirdcore art for the true stories that sound made up. More of Betsy's work is in Betsy Crum Art.

Product FAQ

What is the Texas connection in the Liquid Paper print?

Bette Nesmith Graham, the secretary who invented Liquid Paper, mixed her first batches at home in Texas in the 1950s — a better origin story than most objects hanging on most walls can offer.

What is the style of the Liquid Paper print?

Pop art — Betsy Crum paints the bottle as an icon rather than a supply-closet item, because for a couple of generations that is precisely what it was.

Where does office wall art like this hang?

Over a desk, in a study, or in a home office where everything else in the room is serious. As a pop art print it holds its own in a hallway too.

Who is the Liquid Paper print for?

Writers, editors, anyone who ran an office before software did the correcting, and anyone who likes a desk with a sense of humor about itself.

Will this look like an original painting or a print?

Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
