Description

First published in 1949, Encaustic Materials and Methods is a seminal study of this extraordinary painting medium. This facsimile edition presents an exact photographic replica of the original text, alongside rare archival documents and reproductions of five artworks.

The book's authors, Frances Pratt and Becca Fizell, survey the practice of painting with wax from ancient Egypt to 19th century Europe, highlighting contemporary techniques and materials. The edition also includes notes and commentary by Kassandra Kelly, Randal Davis, and Virginia Howard, providing additional insight into this unique art form.

With its unique blend of historical research and practical information, Encaustic Materials and Methods remains a valuable resource for artists interested in exploring the possibilities of encaustic painting. This facsimile edition is an excellent opportunity to discover or revisit this important work on the subject.
