Book Reviews of Velazquez: The Technique of Genius
Book Review: Wonderful Insights Into Velazquez's Works
Summary: 5 Stars
Brown and Garrido has something remarkable with this book. They provide detailed technical analyses of many of Velazquez's principal works, discussing both his use of pigments and his application of paints. Close-up photographs illustrate details that shed light on the distinguishing features of Velazquez's paintings -- the thin layers of heavily diluted pigment and the rapid, hurried brushstrokes which bring his subjects to life. The photographs are large and the text illuminating. A highly worthwhile purchase. Brown's solo work on Velazquez's career makes a wonderful accompaniment.
