Description

American Painters on Technique 1860-1945 by Lance Mayer and Gay Myers is an in-depth exploration of the materials and techniques used by American artists from 1860 to 1945. Based primarily on firsthand descriptions, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the period's artistic developments. The study is divided into two main periods: 1860 to 1910, during which many Americans traveled to Europe for instruction, and 1910 to 1945, marked by a shift towards artists creating their own media and grounds from raw materials. The authors draw on a range of sources, including letters, diaries, catalogues, books, and other printed materials. This book offers valuable insights into the artistic techniques used during this period, making it an essential resource for curators, art historians, painters, and conservators.
