Basically a beginners guide to art history with some cool stuff about how the supplies that make the art is made. This was a neat book. Enjoyed it. Apr 21, Kelly rated it really liked it. Well written, fascinating and practical. I actually learned some useful techniques for aging and distressing paintings. Manuale piacevole, che poco aggiunge alla letteratura tecnica, soprattutto dedicato alle opere su carta. Mar 30, Mephistopheles rated it really liked it Shelves: art.
Interesting, snarky read. Sep 02, Joe rated it it was amazing. The best book I've read in a while, The Art Forger's Handbook is at once a book of art history, technique, and philosophy. The book first covers drawings, and then paintings. In both sections, Hebborn describes the materials and tools that were originally used, why they were used, and modern alternatives.
In one sense, it's the sort of information that one would need to forge old artwork -- but, honestly, how many forgers are going to read this book for their guidance? The real benefit to this The best book I've read in a while, The Art Forger's Handbook is at once a book of art history, technique, and philosophy. The real benefit to this book, and the reason I enjoyed it, is because it tells the story of how art and artists evolved over time, how old experts worked within the limitations of what was available to them.
Hebborn also describes the art market: the different types of art forgers handbook pdf download that buy and collect art, and how art dealers and auction houses work. I had only the faintest idea of the business side of art, and I found all the details fascinating. Hebborn's writing style shines through in this book: playful, at once showing his reverence for the skill of the old masters while ostensibly telling people how to fake those same works.
As an example, I reproduce this comment that I just flipped to, describing types of drawing ink: "It is not unknown for European manufacturers to wrap up the inferior sticks of their own making art forgers handbook pdf download fine rice-paper covered with alluring Chinese characters in a manner almost worthy of our good selves. This is a how-I-done-it by a notorious forger.
He's very pleased with himself. Hebborn's discussions of how to look at genuine artworks and identify their authenticity are interesting.
But speaking as an artist who practices ancient techniques and an amateur historian, I don't think he's being entirely honest about what he did and how he did it when he art forgers handbook pdf download of forgery.
Also, I don't think his forgeries are nearly as convincing-looking as he seems to think. I realise these are famous last words, This is a how-I-done-it by a notorious forger. I realise these are famous last words, and that many art historians have been embarrassed by fakes. The notorious Van Meegeren forgeries of the last century are a prominent example although to my eye those paintings looked more like children's illustrated Bibles from the s than like the Vermeers they were supposed to be.
Hebborn certainly is of the opinion that he is very clever. Perhaps some of his fakes are still floating around, as he hints here and there.
Or perhaps he art forgers handbook pdf download be tickled at the thought that people are still worried about them. This book is a useful insight into the mind of a forger, and it may have some helpful information on how forgeries are made. But take it with a grain of salt. Sep 24, DoctorM rated it really liked it Shelves: art. Well, yes A handy little guidebook to the materials and techniques of forging paintings, done by one of the most distinguished notorious?
Lots of very good advice on acquiring paper and canvas, art forgers handbook pdf download, on mixing inks and paints, on creating provenance, art forgers handbook pdf download, on the chemical equipment you might need. It won't do anything for your talents as a painter, but Mr. Hebborn's advice arrogant, arch, art forgers handbook pdf download, bitchy, often very funny will help in case you'd like Well, yes Hebborn's advice arrogant, arch, bitchy, often very funny will help in case you'd like to Jun 23, Michael rated it liked it Shelves: snon-fictionart.
A genial, dapper, and rough-around-the-edges guide to the techniques and materials of old master artists. The title is of course art forgers handbook pdf download pretense. Hebborn gives us a few glimpses into his practice and mindset, but in pretending to write for "colleagues" he was doing what he did best: faking. He wass really writing for people like me who want to be mildly titillated by glimpses of the art market's vast seedy underbelly.
Jul 11, Maya rated it liked it. I'm fascinated by art crime. This book is really a manual and I'd recommend it not only to artists, but to art historians because of the technical details that Hebborn includes. He dates papers and materials that would give a forgery away but are equally useful for the art historian who might want to date works based on how they were made. It's entertaining, even when he's bragging about the museums and collectors he duped.
I actually stayed up late to finish this book. But not because it was so good, I just wanted to be done with it and go on to something I probably would like.
There are some interesting data here, but it is probably outdated now. Mar 10, Eric Oppen rated it really liked it. This art forgers handbook pdf download was an interesting look into the world of art forgery. What struck me is the fact that to successfully forge art, one must first be already a skilled artist.
A lot of the techniques discussed were way over my head. That saidwhy is this book so outrageously expensive? The copies I've seen for sale go for multiple hundreds of dollars. My husband really enjoyed this book, and thought that, as a practicing artist, I would love it too, but I didn't. It was interesting, at first, to read about modern sources for antique materials, but the self-congratulatory tone of the author quickly became tiresome and off-putting. Jan 14, Bhan13 rated it really liked it.
This is a how-to guide by one of the world's most in famous and successful art forgers - who, incidentally, was beaten to death in Italy in Absolutely fascinating! I'm eying up endpapers and oxgall in a whole new way Jan 02, Jayna rated it it was amazing.
It's a shame the author was murdered after the publication of this book. I wish I could've had tea and talked art crime with him. ThatCasualDragon rated it it was amazing May 24,
