The most valuable book in existence on the craft of painting, this represents the results of twenty-five years of teaching and practical experience. Since its first publication in German in 1921, the book has steadily built up a reputation with artists in many countries until it has at last become the accepted authority on questions of technique and materials. The translation, prepared in collaboration with the author, is by Eugen Neuhaus, Professor of Art, University of California. With 8 illustrations
