Book Reviews of Encaustic Art: How to Paint with Wax
Book Review: Seriously Not enough seriousness for the seriously artistic
Summary: 3 Stars
Just a fun way to get used to using melted pigment with an iron. Obviously not the ONLY way one can use Encaustics, and perhaps not for everyone. (Especially not for those who don't believe fun and art should be used in the same sentence.) Well, Jasper Johns numbers didn't look like serious Art to me. In fact, I dare to say that anyone looking at them back when he melted them onto those canvases (maybe used an iron??)....wouldn't have known if he made those for an Altered book cover (Craft?) or if their teenager did them one rainy Saturday for their school fair. But then again, art is and has been hype for decades in this part of the world, and I just have a problem with these self appointed critics who like to think they can judge whatever they don't consider to be "art" to be "craft." Gee, I wonder why the chinese don't separate their Art into "Fine Art" and "Decorative Art." Obviously there is something in their culture which doesn't require them to be separatists or snobs, Art is just the whole process.
Summary of Encaustic Art: How to Paint with Wax
With just a few wax colours, some card and a small electric iron, a whole range of cards, gifts and paintings can be made easily and quickly.
