Description
With a history dating back to 30,000 BC, the mural is one of the most ancient art forms on the planet. The word refers to any piece of painted artwork on a ceiling, wall, or other permanent surface. Often, the physical features of the surface or architectural structure are used and incorporated into the artwork itself. This illustrated volume explores the fascinating history and evolution of the mural, offering useful and practical information on producing them, materials, viable surfaces, and much more. Contents include: "Introductory Remarks", "Encaustic and Tempera of the Ancients", "The Wall", "Modern Encaustic", "Fresco", "Byzantine Fresco", "Durability of Fresco-Its Possibilities-Fresco Compared with Wax-Painting", "Fresco-Secco", "On-Painting", "Water-Glass", "The Education and Qualification of the Mural Painter", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
