4.0 out of 5 stars
more, and less, than I expected, Jan 2 2002
This review is from: Looking at Prints, Drawings and Watercolours: A Guide to Technical Terms (Paperback)
I had hoped this book would incorporate aesthetics with art history, but that is not quite the author's intent. Instead, it is similar to a dictionary, being a 63-page volume of alphabetically arranged technical definitions, from aquatint to wood-engraving. It is also more than a dictionary, having more than 60 examples to illustrate techniques and methods.
This book is neither historical nor biographical in focus, but you will learn a great deal of technical information.
