About this product

Product Information

Homo sapiens are defined by wisdom, symbolic thought and tool making: these attributes are a prerequisite for, and embodied in, the development and use of the artists' brush. Indeed, the brush is emblematic of H. sapiens' ability to create representational art, write and to communicate. This unique book, for the first time, examines the evolution and importance of the artists' brush over time and geography. Extensively researched and referenced, it details the development and use of the brush from deep history to modern day, placing the brush in the context of the cultures in which it was used. Richly illustrated it describes works on rock, walls (murals and frescoes), ceramics, textiles, panels (stone, wood), codices, calligraphic manuscripts and other peinture d'objets [painted objects]. The history of art is re-told placing the brush at its centre - a tool, which in the hand of an artist, is responsible for some of the greatest and defining insignia of mankind. This book sheds light on historic artistic practices in Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas that are frequently overlooked and under reported in academic literature. Bayliss Brown's scholarship is commendable and the chapters on brush anatomy, physics and mark making are essential reading for any artist or historian. The Artists' Brush is a masterpiece and deserves to be in every school, university and bookcase of any serious artist - it is surprising that it has never been written before.

Reviews
This impressive study of the brush in all its multiple forms [is] exhaustively examined in this extraordinary piece of scholarship which, in its diversity, becomes a celebration of human creativity...a panoply of human inventiveness as interesting to Anthropologists as to Art Historians and to Artists themselves." Sir Antony Gormley RA This book ... opens our eyes ... bringing to light arguably one of the most important instruments in creative expression, the artists' brush...This fascinating book provides valuable scholarship in the history, manufacture and physics of the humble brush, and interrogates the elegance of this tool. Professor Paul Fieldsend-Danks, Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Fine Art, Arts University Plymouth
