Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relative Claims of Etching and Engraving to Rank as Fine Arts, and to Be Represented as Such in the Royal Academy of Arts It will thus be seen, that the object of the paper is not to contrast etching as a process, with engraving as a process, the etched line with the engraved line, - and to say of one that it is better as a form of art expression than the other, though this thesis might well be maintained; and certainly not, in any sense that can be considered in the least personal, to exalt one class of artist at the expense of another; but to compare, without regard to the process employed or the person employing it, the practice of the painter-etcher who is an original artist, with the practice of the modern engraver who is not an original artist, and, by the discussion which it is hoped will follow such comparison, to arrive at an intelligible conclusion as to the comparative claims of the two to be considered branches of fine art.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relative Claims of Etching and Engraving to Rank as Fine Arts, and to Be Represented as Such in the Royal Academy of Arts All forms of engraving on metal, whether by the etching needle, the burin, by mezzotint, or aquatint, or whatever other forms the artist may choose as a means of original expression, are to be understood, for the purposes of the present paper, as included in the common term "etching;" and like forms, when not used for the purposes of original expression, as included in the common term "engraving." It will thus be seen, that the object of the paper is not to contrast etching as process, with engraving as a process, - the etched line with the engraved line, - and to say of one that it is better as a form of art expression than the other, though this thesis might well be maintained; and certainly not, in any sense that can be considered in the least personal, to exalt one class of artist at the expense of another; but to compare, without regard to the process employed or the person employing it, the practice of the painter-etcher who is an original artist, with the practice of the modern engraver who is not an original artist, and, by the discussion which it is hoped will follow such comparison, to arrive at an intelligible conclusion as to the comparative claims of the two to be considered branches of "fine art."

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Etching, Engraving and the Other Methods of Printing Pictures The object of this book is to try to help the reader to attain a double end. It will tell him all about the different methods of engraving, etc., noting their invention, ex plaining their process, and enabling him hereafter to recognise at sight whatever manner of print he may have placed before him. Few people will guess how much this knowledge, that seems rather exoteric when once acquired, will help towards a ready appreciation of prints and a growing interest in them. Furthermore, the attempt will be made, at least in a small degree, to offer an aesthe tic guide - that is, to indicate what really are the beauties proper to black-and-white art, and in what manner we can reap most enjoyment from them.

Download or read book A Short History of Engraving Etching written by A. M. Hind and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Engraving Etching: For the Use of Collectors and Students With Full Bibliography Classified List and Index of Engravers I owe a word of apology for augmenting the already extensive bibliography of engraving, and some explanation of the scope of my work may serve to supply it. It aims, in the first place, at presenting a descriptive survey of the history of engraving on metal throughout the various centuries and schools, considerable space being devoted to the more important engravers, the names of lesser account being cited just so far as they contribute towards a connected view of the whole development, and a balanced estimate of relative artistic values. It is especially in this relation that I feel the importance of the inclusion of a chapter on modern etchers and engravers, who, in books of this kind, have seldom been treated in their natural place beside the older masters. While recognising the greater dangers of personal bias in expressing opinion on the work of living artists, I am strongly opposed to the idea that modern art demands a different and separate treatment. I have attempted throughout to give references to original sources and best authorities, so that, both for lesser and greater artists, the student may find a sign-post when space precludes direct information. The General Bibliography, and the Individual Bibliography attached to the Index of Engravers, present a much larger collection of authorities than has been attempted in any similar publication. The technical introduction merely aims at describing the various processes in sufficient detail to help the student, who has made no practice of the art, to a clear comprehension of cause and effect.

Download or read book Historical Painting Techniques Materials and Studio Practice written by Arie Wallert and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1995-08-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Etching: Text and Plates It may, however, be incumbent upon me to offer a few words of excuse concerning my own connection with the bringing out of this translation; for, at first sight, it will, no doubt, appear the height of presumption, especially on the part of one who is not himself a practising artist, to add an introductory chapter and notes to the work of a consummate master on his favorite art. But what I have done has not, in any way, been dictated by the Spirit of presumption. The reasons which induced me to make the additions may be stated as follows.
