From the Renaissance development of oil painting on canvas to the present day--through Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, and other art historical movements--the use of canvas has enhanced the scale of painting, freedom of brushwork, and spontaneity in technique. This book recounts some of that rich history in relation to corresponding developments in conservation practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rather than concentrating on the familiar concerns of cleaning and varnish removal, this volume considers the preservation of a painting's structure. By focusing on recent studies on the fundamental nature of canvas and its mechanisms of deterioration, the book explains new approaches to the conservation of both contemporary and historical art--including reversible, passive, and preventive treatments, particularly with respect to lining. Written by Stephen Hackney, a conservation practitioner and leader in conservation research, \u003ci\u003eOn Canvas\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to take a comprehensive look at this important subject and is destined to become an invaluable resource for the field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Hackney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606066269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606066263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Conservation Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Stephen Hackney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938685124863,"sku":"9781606066263","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d651fef1-20e4-4e5c-b396-9b4754d8acc5.jpg?v=1681437145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-canvas-stephen-hackney-9781606066263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
