Book Reviews of Painting Materials: A Short Encyclopedia (Dover Art Instruction)
Book Review: even in china
Summary: 5 Stars
For my research on Chinese painters and painting techniques I am in China. Taking a copy of this book with me as a reference work, now I end up buying it again for some of my Chinese friends. They are all very interested in this still very accurate and usefull book for restorers and other people working with Art. The coverage of materials is very complete.
Summary of Painting Materials: A Short Encyclopedia (Dover Art Instruction)
Museum curators, conservators, painters, teachers, and students will find this volume an outstanding reference. An encyclopedic collection of specialized data rather than a handbook of art instruction, its five-part treatment covers mediums, adhesives, and film substances; pigments and inert materials; solvents, diluents, and detergents; supports; and tools and equipment.
