Abstract

By inviting us to view sculpture as structure and structure as sculpture the book offers a 'defamiliarized' sight of the world. The result is educational, a deeper understanding of morphology, but also a fresh comprehension of the poetics of structure - making and of structural intelligence.

Abstract

Works of art in their own right, frames play an essential and often overlooked role in complementing the artworks they support. The craft and history of European frames is a fascinating subject and this volume provides a rich and informative guide to the frame maker's art from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century. This handy reference tool features over two hundred entries--arranged alphabetically from abacus to whiting--that concisely explain the techniques, materials, and styles involved in the making of frames. The introduction gives an overview of the history of frame styles and explains how frames are chosen by artists and museums for specific artworks. Lavishly illustrated with objects from the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, this handbook will be invaluable not only to professionals and collectors but also to all those wishing to increase their understanding and enjoyment of frames.

Abstract

De tout temps, l’homme a peint et dessiné, depuis la plus haute Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours, des parois des grottes aux murs « tagués » de nos villes, des villas romaines aux décors 1900, des sculptures médiévales flamandes aux riches polychromies jusqu’aux artefacts les plus abstraits de l’art d’aujourd’hui, en passant par les Primitifs italiens… Ce livre embrasse un domaine dont l’amplitude étonne, mais dont la cohérence visuelle s’impose avec évidence. Synthétisant les cultures historique, scientifique et technique en une approche globale, les quelque 1 850 termes ou expressions permettent d’aborder les différents aspects de l’œuvre avec des définitions simples et courtes, mais enrichies d’un appareil de notes et de références bibliographiques. L’iconographie n’est pas ici une simple illustration des termes : les 2 400 schémas et images ont été réalisés ou sélectionnés pour permettre de découvrir des œuvres comme on ne les voit jamais en temps normal.

Abstract

Changing Pictures is the first extensive art historical study on the discoloration of old master paintings, concentrating on oil paintings from the 15th to the 17th centuries. The point of departure for this book is contemporaneous writings on oil painting technique and on the use of colour and light and shade in paintings – texts written by both professional and amateur painters, art lovers or connoisseurs, and ranging from manuscripts with succinct practical instructions to early published scholarly treatises which expound in detail the myriad aspects of the art of painting. In this book, the historical research has been conducted in parallel with a technical study of paintings and the artificial ageing of reconstructed traditional paints. This integrated approach provides new insight into the composition of the paints used by the old masters. It also reveals that both the degree and the nature of the discoloration can depend on a large number of material and technical variables, including the quality of the pigments, the type of binding medium and the painting technique. Historical writings also provide valuable understanding of the original colours and modelling of old paintings. By means of several examples of ‘changed pictures’, the author demonstrates how studies of the old texts – together with examinations of preparatory sketches/drawings, early copies of the discoloured paintings and our knowledge of the ageing of paint materials – enable us to deduce a painting’s original appearance thereby gaining a more reliable insight into the intentions of the artist.
