- Summary:
- Thoroughly researched information on a topic of importance to conservators and yet relatively neglected, this study offer analysis of materials and techniques used by painters including Benjamin West, Gilbert Stuart, Washington Allston, Thomas Sully, Thomas Cole, and William Sidney Mount, among others. Drawing on artists' recipe books, letters, journals, and painting manuals, conservators Mayer and Myers (affiliated with Lyman Allyn Art Museum, and other major museums and private institutions) explore American artists' quest for the secrets of the old masters and their innovative experimentation.
