Science and art are increasingly interconnected in the activities
of the study and conservation of works of art. Science plays a key
role in cultural heritage, from developing new analytical
techniques for studying the art, to investigating new ways of
preserving the materials for the future. Following on from the 2014
title Science and Art: The Painted Surface, this book consists of a
series of chapters written together by scientists, art historians,
conservators, curators and artists dedicated to conservation,
execution techniques, languages and conceptual topics. Science and
Art: The Contemporary Painted Surface largely covers execution
techniques, material's conservation and languages of artists,
representative of twelve different countries, all protagonists of
the development of innovative significant techniques and
methodologies. The book opens with a focus on widely historicized
artists, such as Jackson Pollock, Lucio Fontana, Enrico Baj, Piero
Manzoni and Joseph Albers. Its core is dedicated to the work of
major worldwide renowned living artists, in a perspective that,
while considering the Sixties as the historical starting point of
contemporaneity, does not neglect to offer a view on the work done
in the immediately preceding years. Several interviews with artists
are included. Final chapters are dedicated to contemporary design,
net art, and painted surfaces in contemporary architecture.
Presented in an easily readable form for a large audience, the book
guides readers into new areas uncovered by the link between science
and art, and will be of interest to artists, art historians and
curators, as well as those who appreciate art. Reviews of Science
and Art: The Painted Surface 'Science and Art provides an excellent
read for art historians, who will instantly recognise the famous
pieces that have been studied, while giving them insight into how a
painting was constructed, what it is made from, or how the colours
would have looked when they were freshly painted.' Chemistry World,
6 November 2014 'Science and Art is recommended for students,
teachers, and the general public who are interested in chemistry or
other sciences and art, as well as applications of the former to
the latter.' J. Chem. Educ., 2016, 93(5), 810-810
