Vermeer's technique in painting,
By
This review is from: Vermeer (Abradale Books) (Hardcover)
This book is not an easy read, but it does provide wonderful insights into how Vermeer achieved the effects he did. It certainly heightened my appreciation of his work, both in technical and in artistic terms.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Poor quality reproductions,
By
This review is from: Vermeer (Abradale Books) (Hardcover)
A very, very poor cousin of ISBN: 0894682199. The colors of most plates are significantly distorted by a brownish (sepia) hue significantly changing perception of the originals, and - thus - rendering the paintings very inaccurately ruining this book's visual appeal. Additionally, a bluish hue destorts at least "Lady Writing a Letter with her Maid" on p. 147. The 1998 edition from Abradale (ISBN: 0810981939) was affected by the distorting hues, but they may be also present in ISBN: 0810917300 from Harry N Abrams the former was a reprint of. Each printing has 168 pages.
