Between the mid-15th and the mid-19th centuries, the materials of painting remained remarkably unchanged, but innovations in their use flourished. Technical discoveries facilitated new visual effects, political conditions prompted innovations, and economic changes shaped artists' strategies, especially as trade became global. Marcia Hall explores how Michelangelo radically broke with his contemporaries' harmonizing use of color in favor of a highly saturated approach; how the robust art market and demand for affordable pictures in 17th-century Netherlands helped popularize subtly colored landscape paintings; how politics and color became entangled during the French Revolution; and how modern artists liberated color from representation as their own role transformed from manipulators of pigments to visionaries celebrated for their individual expression. Using insights from recent conservation studies, Hall captivates readers with fascinating details and developments in magnificent examples-from Botticelli and Titian to Van Gogh and Kandinsky-to weave an engaging analysis. Her insistence on the importance of examining technique and material to understand artistic meaning gives readers the tools to look at these paintings with fresh eyes. 505 0 $a Introduction: making, materials, marketing, meaning -- The fifteenth century : from egg to oil, from gothic to humanist values -- The sixteenth century : new techniques for new levels of expression -- The seventeeth century : the economics of art -- The eighteenth century : the politics of art -- The nineteenth century : industrialization and globalization of art -- Color as the expression of the immaterial. 650 0 $a Color in art $x History. 650 0 $a Color $x History. 650 0 $a Painting, European $x History. 650 7 $a Malerei. $2 gnd 651 7 $a Europa. $2 gnd 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302015403.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829015121.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217014933.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9CC191E0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
