Continuing the series on making available the latest research into the materials and techniques of modern and contemporary artists, Burchett-Lere and Zebala focus on the work and materials of American abstract expressionist Francis (1923-94), who was known for his large-scale, vibrant, and color-saturated canvas paintings. In a chronological arrangement, they consider such aspects as a new world of possibilities, the translucent layering of oils and watercolors, the transition to edge paintings and from easel to floor, the quest for color--pure pigments and dispersions, and paint and binding formulations. They append data from the chemical analysis of paints in his studio after he died. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
