Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technique of Oil Paintings, and Other Essays But, with the advent of the Impressionists, many barriers were thrown down until, to-day, our hori zon has broadened almost infinitely. Some of us have come to understand, as no one had ever understood before, not only the work of our own spiritual ancestors in all the stages of its develop ment, but also the art of alien peoples. All of the great works of Greek art which we now know have been discovered for our Western civilization since the Renaissance. The creations of primitive times are also coming to light, each year bringing some new and vital f orm of art to enrich our inheritance. Barbaric races, in exchange for a f ew beads, are letting us have their priceless heir looms, which should have the power to give us renewed youth and energy. Surely we are not all so jaded but that we shall find inspiration from these riches, just as the artists of the Renaissance were quickened by the discovery of a f ew Hellenic originals.

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.

Download or read book Artist and Public written by Kenyon Cox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artist and Public: And Other Essays on Art Subjects IN The Classic Point of View, published three years ago, I endeavored to give a clear and definitive statement of the principles on which all my criticism of art is based. The papers here gathered together, whether earlier or later than that volume, may be considered as the more detailed application of those principles to particular artists, to whole schools and epochs, even, in one case, to the entire history of the arts. The essay on Raphael, for instance, is little else than an illustration of the chapter on Design that on Millet illustrates the three chapters on The Subject in Art, on Design, and on Draw ing while No Ways of Painting contrasts, in specific instances, the classic with the modern point of view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Renaissance, and Other Essays on Art Subjects But this admiration of a master in the theory and criticism Of art has not prevented me from enjoying artistic excellence wherever it may be found, and in periods in which Mr. Ruskin sometimes declines to re cognize it, in Greek as well as Gothic, in Dutch, French and Spanish schools Of painting as well as Italian, and especially to View Greek art as the head source, giving its law to all that comes after. I have, in a word, tried to cultivate a catholic spirit, believing that art dwells in the human soul, and shows itself in an infinite variety Of form, like the types and products Of nature but whatever opinions Mr. Ruskin himself may have arrived at, from some Of which we are forced respectfully to dissent, he has been our best guide to the facts and ideas Of nature.

Download or read book Still Lifes written by Rijksmuseum (Netherlands) and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stunning beauty and diversity of 17th-century Dutch still-life painting raises many questions about developments in style and technique. What materials did artists use to produce these works? How were they made? Did all the still-life painters of the period use the same methods and materials? Can we relate differences in materials and methods to differences in style? These questions are explored by the conservators and curators of the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum and scientists attached to the Molart project (Molecular aspect of aging in art) in an examination of paintings by Jan Brueghel, Balthasar van der Ast, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Willem Kalf, Rachel Ruysch, and Jan van Huysum.

This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Friar in Fiction, Sincerity in Art, and Other Essays Mosr writers who have lived long, have studied, read and meditated, are likely to possess a quantity of literary baggage. A trunk in the garret, a box in the cellar, neatly tied and properly labeled packages of thoughts on the top shelf of some nu used closet. The present selection of essays is, in part, derived from those tin-boxes in the garret; a few samples selected from many. Others have already known printer's ink, but are no longer to be found in the market. They represent many years of reading and meditation. I hope you will like some of them, gentle reader; I hope you will treat all of them kindly, noble critic, even more kindly than they deserve. As I am on the other side of the world, I cannot supervise their progress through the press; but you may be sure that my publishers will give you a book that will be typographically well done.

Download or read book A Manual of Oil Painting written by John Collier and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MR. COLLIER'S "MANUAL OF OIL-PAINTING." [To The Editor of The "Spectator."] Sir, --In the review of my " Manual of Oil-Painting," in your issue of February 12th, two methods of painting are contrasted. "Get your details right bit by bit, says our author in other words, and modify them subsequently till your effect is accurate." That, according to the reviewer, is the wrong method. "Get your effect true from the first, says the French master, and then your details will fall naturally into their right place, and at the worst you will be working on a foundation of truth." That, according to the same authority, is the right method. Now, the odd part of it is that I cordially agree with my reviewer. The method that he puts forward as the precise contrary of mine is the very one that I advocate, as I can conclusively show by reference to my book. Here is the gist of my system. The first day's painting consists in matching the tints of "every considerable patch of colour or light and shade in the object, until the canvas is completely covered. This is the first day's painting, and the result of it should be that the picture, "when seen at some distance," should give "a good idea of the general look of the object without any of its details." The next stage is to carefully look over the general effect, and to correct any tones that seem to require it. "When the general tones appear quite right," "the larger details should be put in." "In the subsequent paintings," "finer and finer details" are added until the picture is finished. This is my method, described in the words used in the "Manual." What can be plainer? --I am, Sir, &c., John Collier.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genesis of Art-Form: An Essay in Comparative Aesthetics Showing the Identity of the Sources, Methods, and Effects of Composition in Music, Poetry, Painting, Sculpture and Architecture Nor is the taste of any age, however it may stimulate ability or aspiration to produce, above the sway of fashions, good and bad, that, in proportion as they keep truth fettered, render excellence impossible. In order to attain this, the leader in art, as in religion, must break away from them, in fact from all the shackles of conventional traditionalism - one might almost say of historic criticism, broadly beneficial as this has been in many a direction, - and. Searching back of them, must find within himself and in the world about him, those first principles that underlie the nature of both thought and things.
