Book excerpt: Ever since its original publication in Germany in 1938, Max Schweidler's Die Instandetzung von Kupferstichen, Zeichnungen, Buchern usw has been recognized as a seminal modern text on the conservation and restoration of works on paper. To address what he saw as a woeful dearth of relevant literature and in order to assist those who have 'set themselves the goal of preserving cultural treasures, ' the noted German restorer composed a thorough technical manual covering a wide range of specific techniques, including detailed instructions on how to execute structural repairs and alterations that, if skilfully done, can be virtually undetectable. By the mid-twentieth century, curators and conservators of graphic arts, discovering a nearly invisible repair in an old master print or drawing, might comment that the object had been 'Schweidlerized.' This volume, based on the authoritative revised German edition of 1949, makes Schweidler's work available in English for the first time, in a meticulously edited and annotated critical edition. The editor's introduction places the work in its historical context and probes the philosophical issues the book raises, while some two hundred annotati

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated volume traces the intersections of art history and paintings restoration in nineteenth-century Europe. Repairing works of art and writing about them—the practices that became art conservation and art history—share a common ancestry. By the nineteenth century the two fields had become inseparably linked. While the art historical scholarship of this period has been widely studied, its restoration practices have received less scrutiny—until now. This book charts the intersections between art history and conservation in the treatment of Italian Renaissance paintings in nineteenth-century Europe. Initial chapters discuss the restoration of works by Giotto and Titian framed by the contemporary scholarship of art historians such as Jacob Burckhardt, G. B. Cavalcaselle, and Joseph Crowe that was redefining the earlier age. Subsequent chapters recount how paintings conservation was integrated into museum settings. The narrative uses period texts, unpublished archival materials, and historical photographs in probing how paintings looked at a time when scholars were writing the foundational texts of art history, and how contemporary restorers were negotiating the appearances of these works. The book proposes a model for a new conservation history, object-focused yet enriched by consideration of a wider cultural horizon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How social upheavals after the collapse of the French Empire shaped the lives and work of artists in early nineteenth-century Europe As the French Empire collapsed between 1812 and 1815, artists throughout Europe were left uncertain and adrift. The final abdication of Emperor Napoleon, clearing the way for a restored monarchy, profoundly unsettled prevailing national, religious, and social boundaries. In Restoration, Thomas Crow combines a sweeping view of European art centers—Rome, Paris, London, Madrid, Brussels, and Vienna—with a close-up look at pivotal artists, including Antonio Canova, Jacques-Louis David, Théodore Géricault, Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Thomas Lawrence, and forgotten but meteoric painters François-Joseph Navez and Antoine Jean-Baptiste Thomas. Whether directly or indirectly, all were joined in a newly international network, from which changing artistic priorities and possibilities emerged out of the ruins of the old. Crow examines how artists of this period faced dramatic circumstances, from political condemnation and difficult diplomatic missions to a catastrophic episode of climate change. Navigating ever-changing pressures, they invented creative ways of incorporating critical events and significant historical actors into fresh artistic works. Crow discusses, among many topics, David’s art and influence during exile, Géricault’s odyssey through outcast Rome, Ingres’s drive to reconcile religious art with contemporary mentalities, the titled victors over Napoleon all sitting for portraits by Lawrence, and the campaign to restore art objects expropriated by the French from Italy, prefiguring the restitution controversies of our own time. Restoration explores how cataclysmic social and political transformations in nineteenth-century Europe reshaped artists’ lives and careers with far-reaching consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us want to learn “how to draw.” But as artist Anthony Ryder explains, it’s much more important to learn what to draw. In other words, to observe and draw what we actually see, rather than what we think we see. When it comes to drawing the human figure, this means letting go of learned ideas and expectation of what the figure should look like. It means carefully observing the interplay of form and light, shape and line, that combine to create the actual appearance of human form. In The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing, amateur and experienced artists alike are guided toward this new way of seeing and drawing the figure with a three-step drawing method. The book’s progressive course starts with the block-in, an exercise in seeing and establishing the figure’s shape. It then build to the contour, a refined line drawing that represents the figure’s silhouette. The last step is tonal work on the inside of the contour, when light and shadow are shaped to create the illusion of form. Separate chapters explore topics critical to the method: gesture, which expresses a sense of living energy to the figure; light, which largely determines how we see the model; and form, which conveys the figure’s volume and mass. Examples, step-by-steps, and special “tips” offer helpful hints and practical guidance throughout. Lavishly illustrated with the author’s stunning artwork, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing combines solid instruction with thoughtful meditations on the art of drawing, to both instruct and inspire artists of all levels.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook to the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum: With Introduction and Notices of the Various Schools: Italian, German, Dutch and Flemish, Spanish, French, and English The Engravings in each school are placed first, the Drawings immediately follow. In both cases the works are arranged chronologically. A sketch is given of the lives of the leading Masters, and, as a rule, three Specimens of the works of each Master are described. These specimens have all been chosen, of course, from the Museum Collection. N o doubt other important works of some of the artists might have been noticed, but the compiler of this Handbook believes that those which he has selected will be found in general to give a fair representation of the style and powers of the hands that produced them. After due consideration the vernacular forms of name have been adopted in preference to any of the modified appellations by which the masters are known. Thus Raffaello instead of Raphael, Tiziano instead of Titian, and Albrecht instead of Albert. This is the general rule, which is not affected by an occasional divergence. Noteworthy remarks by connoisseurs of eminence, both upon the collections in the Print Room and upon the artists who have contributed to them, may be found interspersed with the text. References have not always been given, but a copious list of authorities is appended to the Guide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Print Restoration and Picture Cleaning: An Illustrated Practical Guide to the Restoration of All Kinds of Prints; Together With Chapters on Cleaning Water-Colours, Print "Fakes" And Their Detection, Anomalies in Print Values, and Prints to Collect In the ordinary way a few years will suffice to produce spots on an engraving or a drawing, particularly if the wall be at all inclined to damp ness. Moreover, unless remedies are applied the print or the drawing will go from bad to worse, and ultimately rot. From this it will be deduced that it is as well to remedy matters as quickly as possible. If the instructions' given in this work are carefully followed, they should enable an average intelligent individual to deal with his own prints and pictures in such a manner as to improve their appearance, and give to them a fresh lease of life. Again, it may very well happen that the lover of Art may find in some obscure quarter a picture or an engraving that owing to some blemish appears to be worthless. To be able to deal with such blemishes - to remove dirt, varnish, &c., and to remedy other defects - should provide not only a very pleasur able employment, but ofttimes a very profitable one, for calling in outside assistance, with its attendant expense, will be avoided. Throughout the work will be found a fairly comprehensive list of such conditions, &c., as will at once denoteand Picture Cleaning.
