Techniques of the World's Great Painters

Ladies and gentlemen...the Rolling Stones! The definitive, authorized illustrated history of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band The kind of fame and success the Rolling Stones have achieved in their 50-year career is completely without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their bluesy rock 'n' roll and mesmerizing stage presence, the Stones redefined the music of the 1960s and paved the way for rock as we know it today. Produced in collaboration with the band, this book charts the Stones' remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in around 600 pages of photographs and illustrations, many previously unseen, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones' own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to the Stones' story. Standard TASCHEN edition

Painting technique is a relatively neglected aspect of art history, although technique is vitally important in the development of painting styles and movements. In this volume, the techniques of 77 of the world's greatest painters are examined in over 100 of their finest paintings. This comprehensive study shows the development of technique from the frescoes of Giotto to the acrylic paintings of David Hockney, revealing the extent to which changes of technique and the evolution of artist's material went hand in hand. Some of the unique features of the book are: -- A concise description of the career and general technique of the artist -- Actual size details indicating the scale of the work -- Diagrams showing the unpainted blank surface and subsequent sizing stages -- Illustrations demonstrating the underdrawing of the work -- Reproductions of the whole painting and a series of details -- Extensive captions to explain the relevance of each detail This book, compiled with the aid of a team of 14 technical consultants, experienced as either picture conservators or art historians, is an invaluable tool for the appreciation and understanding of the great paintings of the past and the present.
