"The Paint Problem" is a 1985 article by Copper Giloth and Jane Veeder, published in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, that questions whether the paint-program interface serves artists working with computer graphics.
Also before leaving Chicago, Jane and I produced an article called The Paint Problem. There was a lot of press at the time claiming that the paint program was revolutionizing art-making.
