Title: A Closer Look : Techniques of Painting
Author: Kirby, Jo
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781857095340
Description: London-New Haven: National Gallery, Yale University Press, 2011. 21cm., pbk., 96pp., 91 illus., most in color. Publisher's summary : Materials and working practices influence a painter just as much as contemporary intellectual and cultural developments. Techniques of Painting aims to help readers develop a painterly eye by learning to recognize different materials and methods of application and to appreciate how these features contribute to how a painting looks. Like all Closer Look volumes, this is a "how-to-look" guide, rather than a "how-to-do" guide, enabling readers to identify different types of painting in all collections. The pictures illustrated range from 13th-century panel paintings in egg tempera to 19th-century oils on canvas, all from the National Gallery, London.
