Description
Sidney Nolan: A Study of His Materials This book offers a technical study of one of Australia's greatest modern painters. Sidney Nolan (1917-1992) was known for his diverse oeuvre, which included works such as views of Melbourne's seaside suburb St. Kilda and an iconic series on outlaw hero Ned Kelly. Nolan began his artistic training in factories from the age of fourteen, where he gained experience with commercial synthetic paints developed during the 1920s and 1930s. He later became obsessed with European abstract paintings and began to experiment with unconventional materials such as boot polish, dyes, secondhand canvas, tissue paper, and old photographs. This book reveals Nolan's innovative use of various materials, including oil-based Ripolin enamel and nitrocellulose, alkyds, and other diverse substances. It is a fascinating study that will appeal to conservators, conservation scientists, art historians, and readers with an interest in modern art.
