Where did the medium Acrylic paint come from?

Per an article in WiseGeek magazine: " Acrylic paint is made up of pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. In other words, the color is hanging in a mixture of multiple chemicals that create a thick paste. Acrylic paints are essentially plastic paints. The paint can be bought in either a thick or thin format. Acrylic paint is fast drying, making it great for painters that like to work quickly. First available in the 1950s, acrylic paints are newer to the art world than most other paint types. These early paints were made from a mineral spirit blend. It was sold by Bocour Artist Colors and named Magna. Acrylic paints became available in their modern form in the 1960s, initially sold by Liquitex."
