Download or read book Conserving Canvas written by Cynthia Schwarz and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witnessed the reevaluation of traditional practices as well as focused research supporting significant new methodologies, procedures, and synthetic materials for the care and conservation of paintings on fabric supports. Conserving Canvas compiles the proceedings of the conference, presenting a wide array of papers and posters that provide important global perspectives on the history, current state, and future needs of the field. Featuring an expansive glossary of terms that will be an invaluable resource for conservators, this publication promises to become a standard reference for the international conservation community. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at getty.edu/publications/conserving-canvas. Also available are free PDF and EPUB downloads of the book.

Book excerpt: Former detective Alexander Dick receives a grisly and taunting invitation from the serial murderer the media calls Rembrandt. Five years earlier, Alec had investigated a series of Rembrandt murders in Kansas City with devastating results to his career and family. Now, Rembrandt has tracked him down in Dallas and taken up his macabre art in the night-life haunts of the city. Through the course of the investigation, Alec is provided with unique allies: Jennifer Wilson, a psychic sometimes engaged by the police in missing persons cases, and Michael Bennett, the singer and lyricist for a local heavy metal band, Brothers Grim. As Rembrandt begins claiming victims--young women stripped nude and painted with their own blood--Alec, Jennifer, and Michael must work together to try to catch Rembrandt before he kills again, a venture that hurtles them towards an inevitable encounter and a stunning conclusion.

Download or read book Reading a Dynamic Canvas written by Cynthia S. Colburn and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal adornment, as an extension of the body, is a crucial component in social interaction. The active process of adorning the body can shape embodied identities, such as social status, ethnicity, gender, and age. As a result of its dynamic and performative nature, the body can often convey meaning more powerfully and convincingly than verbal communication. Yet adornment is not easily read and does not necessarily reflect actual lived experience. Rather, bodily adornment, and the performances that accompany it, can be manipulated to conceal or exaggerate reality, thus speaking more to identity discourse. The interpretation of such discourse must be grounded in an understanding of the context-specific and negotiable nature of adornment. The essays in this volume, which are united by their focus on material and visual evidence, cover a broad chronological and geographical span, from the ancient Near East to Roman Britain, and bring together innovative scholarly work on adornment by an international group of art historians and archaeologists. This attention to the archaeological evidence makes the volume a valuable resource, as those working with material or visual culture face unique methodological and theoretical challenges to the study of adornment.
