Críticas:
This is a hugely informative book that answers the question 'how did you train to become an artist in Britain or America in the days before the first formal academies were founded in London in 1768 and Philadelphia in 1805?'. -- SALON - The Society of Antiquaries Online Newslett SALON - The Society of Antiquaries Online Newslett IT IS THIRTY years since James Ayres published The Artist's Craft: A History of Tools, Techniques and Materials. Now in this more ambitious and wide-ranging study he returns to the issue of artistic training in the workshop tradition. -- The Burlington Magazine The Burlington Magazine "A well-published nonacademic specialist on the art and architecture especially of Georgian Britain..." (On the aim of the book) "...to offer intriguing glimpses into comparable experiences in colonial North America." (On his writing style) "He proceeds with rich and colorful anecdotal material and draws easily on an impressive range of literary and historical sources, leaping boundaries of time and place as he does so." (On the presentation) "...it would be heavy going without the very useful interdisciplinary glossary of terms" (continues) "... Oxbow should be thanked for allowing Ayres to include it, and for the elegant appearance of the whole..." -- Journal of British Studies Journal of British Studies "An invaluable and comprehensive survey of a wide variety of practices...this work is a major achievement and provides an incomprabale guide to the training of painters and sculptors prior to the modern consumerist age." -- William Vaughan Antiquaries Journal
Reseña del editor:
Before the foundation of academies of art in London in 1768 and Philadelphia in 1805, most individuals who were to emerge as artists trained in workshops of varying degrees of relevance. Easel painters began their careers apprenticed to carriage, house, sign or ship painters, whilst a few were placed with those who made pictures. Sculptors emerged from a training as ornamental plasterers or carvers. Of the many other trades in a position to offer an appropriate background were `limning', staining, engraving, surveying, chasing and die-sinking. In addition, plumbers gained the right to use oil painting and, for plasterers, the application of distemper was an extension of their trade. Central to the theme of this book is the notion that, for those who were to become either painters or sculptors, a training in a trade met their practical needs. This `training' was of an altogether different nature to an `education' in an art school. In the past, prospective artists were offered, by means of apprenticeships, an empirical rather than a theoretical understanding of their ultimate vocation. James Ayres provides a lively account of the inter-relationship between art and trade in the late 17th to early 19th centuries, in both Britain and North America. He demonstrates with numerous, illustrated examples, the many cross-overs in the`art and mystery' of artistic training, and, to modern eyes, the sometimes incongruous relationships between the various trades that contributed to the blossoming of many artistic careers, including some of the most illustrious names of the `long' 18th century.
