Color on Metal
$30
By Tim McCreight & Nicole Bsullak
This book is the first survey of contemporary metal to focus on the full spectrum of coloring techniques used by studio artists. An introductory chapter summarizes the processes commonly used to color metal. It is followed by a rich and varied portfolio of works by top contemporary jewelers and metal artists. Each of the 50 featured pieces includes a perceptive commentary in which the artist describes personal approaches to color and the thinking behind creative decisions.
Work is divided into four broad categories: Patinas, Enamels, Paints & Resins, and Avant-Garde work, a section that includes found metal, pastels, and other unusual approaches. This handsome volume will be a welcome addition to the libraries of practicing metalsmiths and collectors alike.
