This title offers an original survey on Colonial artists' materials
and techniques. This is the first comprehensive study of an
important but largely anonymous part of the history of American
art: the materials and techniques used by American painters. Based
on extensive research including artists' recipe books, letters,
journals, and painting manuals, much previously unpublished, the
authors have also drawn on their many years as conservators of
paintings for museums and collectors. Information is provided on
the methods of painters such as Benjamin West, Gilbert Stuart,
Washington Allston, Thomas Sully, Thomas Cole, and William Sidney
Mount. It includes topics such as the quest for the 'secrets' of
the Old Masters; how artists saw their paintings changing over
time; the application of 'toning' layers; and, the evolving
self-confidence of American experimenters and innovators.
