Description:
Part of the Yale University Press 'Art in the Making' series. Published in association with The National Gallery of London, to accompany an exhibition which was held from November 1990 through April 1991. This large format hardcover volume examines the actual process that the leading artists of the Impressionism movement used in making their art. The authors examine such subjects as open-air painting, the Impressionist use of color, and the paint layers and surfaces of Impressionist paintings. Focusing in particular on the new types of pigments that had recently become available the authors show how this development helped to free artists from the constrains of the studio. Fifteen paintings from the National Gallery of London are examined using X-radiography, infra-red photography, and the analysis of paints and pigments. The book is 225 pages, measuring 9" X 11". Sturdy bright blue cloth covered cover boards, with the title imprinted on the spine in gold. The cover boards are flat, the…
