Please would you place the following query on the
discussion list:
Dear colleagues
A painting student at the University of Auckland School
of Fine Arts came to the desk to see if the Fine Arts
Library had any information about the technique used in
Victorian times in England of gathering cobwebs and
making them up into a canvas to paint on. She has been
using cobwebs to achieved effects in her own work and
was intrigued to be told that some 19th century artists
in England used them to form a canvas. Could anyone
suggest a book that might include something about the
technique, or even suggest a search term we could use
with BHA or Art Abstracts.
