Reprint of October 1941 articles from Technical Studies in the Field of Fine Arts
including:
The Rheology of Painting - Ian Rawlings
A Tentative Scheme for Analysis of Painting Technique - Helmut Ruhemann

Present edition of this book includes many topics not treated in the first edition. Much of the new material is aimed at arousing or increasing the student's desire to continue his studies beyond the scope of this book. In particular, chapter 20 presents a short introduction to the gamma and factorial functions, the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric equations, vessels equation, and the polynomials of Legrand, Hermite and Laguerre. The number of exercises has been increased to almost 1600, nearly half of which are new.

Hardcover, binding is tight, pages are clean with no highlighting.

Includes information about the pigment vehicle and awareness of permanency in artist palettes. Looks at modern approaches to permanency. New pigments. Factors that affect color change. Descriptions of standard methods of testing for permanency and summary data for a variety of pigments

Classical book on the theory of infrared absorption of molecules along with a description of instrumental components utilized in dispersive infrared spectrometers.

The object of the book is to make available a ready reference to basic recipes, ancient and modern. The author's work as an art restorer has given her the experience to study problems with paintings and expore the possibilites of different mediums. See photos for contents

Comprehensive reference book

The principal novelty of this book is its attempt to present a balanced survey of the data of absorptions pectroscopy for organic compounds in all regions of the spectrum from far ultraviolet to far infrared. Classification of compounds according to functional groups is the basic indexing system employed. A second thesis of this work is that spectra in all regions permit a uniqueness of identification of a compound that is not achieved with infrared or ultraviolet data alone

This volume deals with Excavated art from Europe Asia and America as well as Asian and African art

Rembrandt's intriguing painting technique stirred the imaginations of art lovers during his lifetime and has done so ever since. In this book, now revised, updated, and with a new foreword by the author, Rembrandt's pictorial intentions and the variety of materials and techniques he applied to create his fascinating effects are unraveled in depth. At the same time, this "archaeology" of Rembrandt's paintings yields information on many other levels and offers a view of Rembrandt's daily practice and artistic considerations while simultaneously providing a more dimensional image of the artist.

This volume deals with objects of silver, bronze, other metals, prints, books, clocks, walking sticks, stones, gemstones, amber, enamel, dolls, fans, and musical instruments

A chapter at the beginning of the book summarizes current ideas about the nature of matter and the structure of the atom before embarking upon the succession of chapters setting forth chronologically the accumulation of the experimental evidence and the stages in the development of these ideas. The author has continued to include accounts of the chemistry of important industrial processes as it is important that the natural inquisiveness of many to know how it is done should be fostered like. the uses to which so many of the materials concerned are put in everyday life.

31 analytical tables help an analyst sort through the methods of analysis.
Very nice and comprehensive discussions on dyestuffs applied in various materials

Description of military explosives, including propellants such as smokeless powder. and the forms it may be used in as well as military high explosives, including TNT, Tetryl. Mercury Fulminate, Nitrostarch explosives.

The tremendous interest in old European prints has found collectors, dealers and students inadequately provided with accessible, comprehensive reference material, and Mr. Wilder's book makes good on this deficiency in an eminently readable but essentially a practical fashion.

This manual was formally STP 332A, It is sponsored by Astm Committee D-2 on petroleum products and lubricants. The book includes a discussion of product types followed by a collection of ASTM methods

Circa 1901. this book has been written to meet the modern and practical methods of science teaching, which are now being universally recognized and adopted in schools and colleges. Formally, students were taught chemistry in the lecture room. The knowledge so gained being supplemented by a minimum amount of practical work, and that almost exclusively analytical. the tendency of the present day is to make this student, from the very beginning, an investigator, to train and develop his fact is faculties for observation, to make and find out facts and discover truths for himself, In other words, to make him think instead of merely committing to memory what others have thought.

This book is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on the subject but is designed to serve the purpose of a laboratory textbook for the use of students in the chemical laboratories of technical schools and of colleges where technical subjects connected with this branch of higher organic chemistry are taught it is also hoped that matter will be found in it of use to chemists employed in works dealing with these synthetic dyestuffs

This volume is intended for the needs of police investigators, general criminalists in the smaller police laboratories, and students of criminalistics and police science in mind

Willem de Kooning a quintessential abstract expressionist and one of the most influential painters of the 20th century forged an original style by manipulating both conventional and non-art materials in extreme ways. Whether he was coarsening the texture of alkyd paint with quartz and ground glass, applying a flurry of oil paints, cooking oil and water onto his canvases, or mixing plaster of Paris into retail house paint, de Kooning used his doctored paints to convey a unique artistic vision.
This meticulously researched book is the first systematic study of de Koonings creative process that applies comprehensive scientific examination of the artists pigments, binders, and supports to art historical interpretations.
Anyone interested in modern art history, from curators to conservators, students to practicing artists, will find in these pages new insights into the way an artist can achieve radical changes in style
