Reviews

"Mayer and Myers present an important ground-breaking compilation for all students of American painting, and indeed, of European painting."--The Burlington Magazine

"Highly recommended."--Choice

"Written to be accessible to curators, art historians, and painters as well as conservators, it offers a procession of fascinating personalities woven into a cohesive narrative that intertwines with American history." --Fine Art Connoisseur

"[The authors] have researched the topic for three decades, consulting sources as obscure as shopkeepers' bills and paint still encrusted on artists' palettes."--New York Times

"Conservators Lance Mayer and Gay Myers present a wealth of technical information amid amusing anecdotes and eccentric artistic profiles. Relying on primary sources, they uncover the creative processes and wide-ranging materials used by renowned American artists such as Benjamin West and Rembrandt Peale."--Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide
