  • Explores artists’ methods and materials in order to better understand the social and cultural environments in which their works of art were made
  • Demonstrates how materials can be harnessed to affect the critical interpretation of artwork
  • Brings together exceptional illustrations and new research in eight essays by art historians and scholars
