The Ways and Means of Painting

By Joan Mitchell Blumenthal

This generously illustrated book is designed to provide insight into the tools of the painter - the means by which he achieves his goals. Understanding the artist's considerations, techniques and methods can greatly increase the appreciation and enjoyment of works of art. This is true not only for those already devoted to the art of painting, but also for the uninitiated. The illustrations and discussions include analyses of many magnificent paintings by the Great Masters, ranging from the pre-Renaissance period to the 20th century. In addition to learning the ways and means, we also see the amazing development of this art form over these many years.
