A very detailed history 2 May 2012

By Squirrel

Format:Kindle Edition

This book is extremely detailed and likely to be of most interest to someone really into painting - it is not really for anyone with just a vague interest. As it was written about a hundred years ago, it ends with paintings of the turn of the 19th century, which is quite interesting in itself. It's not a page turner and lists painters that I defy anyone these days to have heard about, but is quite a good reference book.

The backgrounds were always of flat color, arbitrary in hue, and decorative only. &quote;

This early method of conveying an idea is, in intent, substantially the same as the later hieroglyphic writing and historical painting of the Egyptians. &quote;

Highlighted by 3 Kindle users

Objects, of whatever nature, were shown in flat profile. In the human figure the shoulders were square, the hips slight, the legs and arms long, the feet and hands flat. The head, legs, and arms were shown in profile, while the chest and eye were twisted to show the flat front view. &quote;
