Book Description
In 1988, modern science proved Rembrandt, Rubens, Velazquez and many Old Masters made a mixture of Calcium Carbonate Chalk/Calcite and their Superior Flax/Linseed oil. In 2000, Louis Velasquez began testing ratios and created 'Calcite Sun Oil' as a modern equivalent of the Old Masters' mixture. Louis also created 3 Emulsions that guarantee permanence and 100% masterful control of the oil paint, which allows micro-fine details seen in Van Eyck, or thick impasto seen in the late work of Rembrandt. This eliminates ALL HAZARDOUS solvents, Resins, Varnishes and Driers from oil painting. IN ADDITION, Louis has pioneered with others, the new 'AIR PUMP LINSEED OIL' that dries within 14 hours. Louis has also created a revolutionary new oil paint, ' MILK OIL PAINT' , a true oil paint, not to be confused with Casein Tempera water based paint. Here in ONE volume are the collected writings of Louis' tests , developments and creations over the past 12 years. Oil Painting Teachers and students at all levels can now oil paint with complete safety, without any hazardous materials, and can be confident their health is safeguarded.

Book Description
Georges Seurat (1859–1891) created just six major figure paintings during his lifetime, one of which, the alluring Circus Sideshow (Parade de cirque), has remained the most challenging to interpret since it first intrigued viewers at the 1888 Salon des Indépendants in Paris. Unlike Seurat’s earlier sunlit scenes, Circus Sideshow presents a nighttime tableau depicting a parade—a street show enticing passersby to purchase tickets. With its geometrically precise composition, muted colors, and elements of abstraction, the painting stands apart as a masterpiece of Neo-Impressionism and heralds Seurat’s subsequent depictions of popular entertainments. This book, the first comprehensive study of Circus Sideshow, situates the painting in the context of nineteenth-century Paris and of the many social changes France was undergoing. Renowned art historian Richard Thomson illuminates the roles of caricature, naturalist and avant-garde painting, and circus advertising; examines Seurat’s use of contemporary aesthetic theory; and discusses how artists ranging from Rouault to Picasso mined the sideshow theme into the twentieth century. Illustrated with Seurat’s related drawings, works by other artists, and period posters and broadsides, Seurat’s Circus Sideshow delves into the history of traveling circuses and seasonal fairs in France, exploring the ongoing appeal of this traditional form of popular entertainment through the fin de siècle. Two additional essays describe the painting’s enthusiastic reception in New York upon its 1929 debut and present the results of a fresh technical examination of the canvas, making this volume the definitive resource on one of Seurat’s most captivating works.

Book Description
Most of the papers in this volume were presented at the CATS international technical art history conference in June 2019 titled Mobility Creates Masters - Discovering Artists' Grounds 1550-1700, which explored the introduction of, and change to, the colored ground layers in European paintings form the Early Modern period. The title of the conference stemmed from the desire to instigate new research projects within the topic of the influence of artists' mobility on material choices and techniques related to the preparation of paintings. As well as contributions presented at the conference, this volume includes additional papers from recent research exploring the same topic. The volume begins with several studies on the documentation of grounds. The contributions are then arranged according to the country in which the painter was active, from southern Europe moving northwards. The lavishly illustrated contributions in this volume deal with the above questions and shed light on different methods of preparing painting supports, the purpose of preparatory layers, materials used in different countries and influence of shifts in fashion or availability of materials on ground layers. This fifth CATS Proceedings will be of interest to scholars and students, and museum professionals including curators, conservators, art historians and conservation scientists.
