Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art in Painting In this book an effort is made to trace in the history Of painting the essential continuity Of the great traditions and to Show that the best Of the modern painters use the same means, to the same general ends, as did the great Florentines, Venetians, Dutchmen and Spaniards. TO Show that continuity, it has been necessary to analyze the plastic forms of the principal painters from the dawn Of the Italian Renaissance down to the present day. His torical data are treated as merely incidental: no attempt has been made to present a complete summary Of the history of painting, although no important movement and no really first-class artist has been entirely left out of account in the general evaluations.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of the History of Painting The object of this series of text-books is to provide concise teachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges. The limited time given to the study of art in the average educational institution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes, but has lim ited their scope of matter to the general features of art history. Archaeological discussions on special subjects and aesthetic theories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled by the best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter into particulars the bibliography cited at the head of each chapter will be found helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to the text, and, to avoid repetition, abbreviations have been used wherever practicable. The enumeration of the principal extant works of an artist, school, or period, and where they may be found, which follows each chapter, may be service able not only as a summary of individual or school achieve ment, but for reference by travelling students in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technique of Painting It is generally agreed that the bad preservation of modern works is due to the bad quality of modern paints Look what admirable colours the Primitives had! What were their marvellous secrets Who will give these back to us Such are the exclamations we constantly hear. Well, artists must be willing to make their mea culpa. As a fact, if they will choose in accordance with the indications you give, they have at their disposal colours a thousand times more brilliant and more enduring than those used by the old masters. Defective methods, due to the neglect of the technical study of colours from the day when the artist found all the products he wanted ready for use in a shop, are responsible for all the evil.

Download or read book A Manual of Oil Painting Classic Reprint written by John Collier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve your perception and use of colour in oil paint and gain many practical insights into techniques, set up and more in this fantastic book from the artist John Collier. Broken down into sections on the Practical and Theory of painting Collier is particularly useful for those looking to paint (or study) in his own Pre-Raphaelite style, although any student of oil painting would do well to study his techniques. The section on Theory discusses colour in a way very different to modern teachers, so while it may be difficult to understand for some others may find that it suits their mind and opens up new concepts. Collier was particularly well known for his use of colour, portraits and history painting, and his skills in these areas shine through in the advice he gives in A Manual of Oil Painting. This makes this little book a must read for those interested in the art of his period from both practical and academic perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Appreciation of Painting His little book has been written with a two fold object: first to suggest a method of developing latent artistic emotion in some of those who are really desirous of understanding what it is in a work of art which appeals to the initiated, and then to show how the various schools of painting may be most profitably approached. These two sections account for the greater part of the book, but they are preceded by another dealing shortly with various vital points; and appended to them is an epilogue in which some thing is said of some matters which by that time should have aroused interest. I must take this opportunity of thanking my friend Mr. Egerton Beck for help in the revision of the manuscript and for suggestions which I have incorporated in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch School of Painting The artistic energy of a great nation is not a mere accident, of which we can neither determine the cause nor foresee the result. It is, on the contrary, the resultant of the genius and character of the people the reflection of the social conditions under which it was called into being; and the product of the civilisation to which it owes its birth. All the force and activity of a race appear to be concentrated in its Art; enterprise aids its growth; appreciation ensures its development; and as Art is always grandest when national prosperity is at its height, so it is pre-eminently by its Art that we can estimate the capabilities of a people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everybody's Paint Book: A Complete Guide to the Art of Outdoor and Indoor Painting IN the following pages an effort has been made to record the experience of the author, gained by close application to painting for over thirty years. To attempt to impart technical knowledge to one not possessing even a primary schooling in the art, it must be admitted, is no easy task. If, after a perusal of these pages, therefore, and a trial of the many methods described, the would-be painter fails in his endeavors, he will, I believe, feel chari tably inclined, and give me credit for a conscientious en deavor to explain everything clearly. Failures, should they occasionally occur, will generally be found to be the result of unskilful combinations or manipulations, and should by no means discourage the student. A second or third trial, after a careful study of the directions, Will, no doubt, usually bring success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
