Clearance - Playing With Fire: European Terracotta Models, 1740–1840

ENLARGE

By James David Draper and Guilhem Scherf, 2004. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Playing with Fire: European Terracotta Models, 1740–1840" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, January 28–April 25, 2004.

During the Neoclassical period in Europe, talented sculptors produced impressive works of art that not only included finished works but clay models as well. This publication offers the first comprehensive overview of Neoclassical modeling in the years from 1740 to 1840 with an emphasis on terracotta, or clay that has been baked for greater longevity. An in-depth look at the techniques and training of artists such as Pigalle, Pajou, and Sergel is also provided.

348 pages, 360 illustrations (135 in full color), 11 1/4 in. x 9 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
