Title: Color on Metal: 50 Artists Share Insights and Techniques by Tim McCreight, Nicole Bsullak ISBN: 1-893164-06-3 Publisher: Guild Publishing Pub. Date: April, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $30.00 |

Summary: Where did all the color go?
Comment: 50 artists share insights but the techniques seem to be limited to a brief explanation and a footnote at the bottom of a picture listing the material used. While many of the photos are great examples of what "can" be done with color, you won't be finding out "how" with this book. But hey, you will get to read 50 esoteric explanations of abstract principals, the kind that artists throw in their bios to make their work seem more interesting than it really is. As a coffee table book it's fine but the useable information is extremely limited.

Summary: Coffee Table Book
Comment: This is a great book for the coffee table. It has lots of beautiful color pictures with a brief history of the artist and the piece in the photo but if you are looking for ideas with detailed information on how to color metal using mediums other than paint, don't waste your time or money.

Summary: Changing forever how you see, think about and work metal
Comment: In this marvelous book, color takes its rightful place along with form, texture, and function. Fifty artists are featured, with a description of each's concepts and techniques, alongside superb photography. Although the information is a sufficient platform for further learning, "Color on Metal" is not a tutorial (nor a formulary) but a stimulating exploration of each artist's personal approach to surface and color. You will find these diverse and often ingenious expressions anything but afterthoughts or casual embellishments. They are differences that make the difference, and it's simply impossible to come away indifferent or uninspired by the rich creative potential of both old and new methods surveyed in this well-organized, beautifully photographed "must have" book.
