Sinopsis
One of the least studied aspects of the history of art is the tools the artist uses - in particular the materials that give paints their rich and varied colours. Traditionally, the focus has been on inspiration rather than the practicalities of how (or if) an artist could achieve a particular colour. This book redresses the balance. Rich in anecdote, ranging from the ancient Egyptians to the present day, BRIGHT EARTH reveals how art is more of a science and science more of an art than might besupposed.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. One of the least studied aspects of the history of art is the tools that the artist uses - and in particular the story of the colour itself and how artists have obtained their colours down the centuries. The focus has been on inspiration rather than the practicalities of how (and if) an artist could achieve a particular colour. This text seeks to redress the balance. Ranging from the Ancient Greeks to the present day, it reveals how art is more of a science and science more of an art then might be supposed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR002236474
