Description
Franz Kline: A Closer Look at His Artistic Materials. This book offers a detailed examination of the materials and methods used by Franz Kline, a key American Abstract Expressionist artist. Despite his significant impact on the movement, Kline was relatively unknown for not discussing his own art. This volume, part of the Artist's Materials series from the Getty Conservation Institute, explores both Kline's life and work, from his early years to his later success in New York City. The book presents rigorous examination and scientific analysis of over thirty of Kline's paintings from the 1930s through the 1960s. This study provides conservators with essential information for future care strategies and offers readers a more thorough understanding of this underappreciated artist, central to American Abstract Expressionism.
