The artist's palette: the palettes behind the paintings of 50 great artists, Alexandra Loske

Call number: 751.3/L879

A beautifully illustrated look at the paints and palettes used by many of the world's greatest artists from the sixteenth century to today. What can the palette an artist used or depicted tell us about their artistic process, preferences, and finished works? From traditional wooden boards to paint pots, ceramic plates, and studio walls, these deceptively simple yet potent tools provide vital evidence. The Artist's Palette presents fifty unique palettes alongside paintings by the celebrated artists who used them, gathering expert analysis of color, brushstroke, and technique to offer new histories of these artists and their work. Alexandra Loske pairs each artist's color palette with one or more of their paintings, revealing how the artist used paints and pigments.
