La pittura : i diversi processi, le malattie dei colori, i quadri falsi / Ch. Moreau-Vauthier, Ugo Ojetti ; con prefazione di G.A. Sartorio.

Moreau-Vauthier, Ch. (Charles), 1857-1924 · 1913 · Bergamo : Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche · 13 pictures

A 1913 Italian technical treatise on painting by Ch. Moreau-Vauthier with a preface by G.A. Sartorio, published in Bergamo by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche, aimed at painters and art students. Its plates pair large close-up details of paintings and drawings, such as a face in soft grainy tones, nose and lips in chalk, and a rough impasto surface, with small inset views of the whole work, showing how brushwork and tonal modelling build a figure that a designer could borrow for texture and close-cropped portraiture.
