Museum curators, conservators, painters, teachers, and students will find this volume an outstanding reference. An encyclopedic collection of specialized data rather than a handbook of art instruction, its five-part treatment covers mediums, adhesives, and film substances; pigments and inert materials; solvents, diluents, and detergents; supports; and tools and equipment.

This review is from: Painting Materials A Short Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This is an oldie but a goodie.
Some of the information contained within it is out of date or hasn't been fully explored. But most of the book is filled with very good, concise and short descriptions of the basic and also more esoteric aspects of traditional art making, given with enough scientific clarification in order for it to fill the 'quick reference' category.

By lvanvalen@netscape.net (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting Materials: A Short Encyclopedia (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
For my research on Chinese painters and painting techniques I am in China. Taking a copy of this book with me as a reference work, now I end up buying it again for some of my Chinese friends. They are all very interested in this still very accurate and usefull book for restorers and other people working with Art. The coverage of materials is very complete.
