商品簡介
What is tempera? What is foreshortening? What is fresco? What is a pentimento?
These terms - and more than one hundred others - are explained in Looking at Paintings. First published in 1992, Looking at Paintings - now thoroughly revised and expanded - presents concise and readable explanations of the technical terms most often encountered by museum-goers. This new edition pays special attention to the processes and methods of paintings conservation; it also offers definitions and examples of materials and techniques - such as "color field" and "collage" - that did not appear in the earlier volume. Fully illustrated, this book will be invaluable to all those wishing to increase their understanding and enjoyment of the art of painting.
