Clear and Useful Information Rosemary Just what I was looking for in restoration information. I wasn't looking to become a professional, but I'm an artist and I've come across work that needs cleaning or fixing and needed practical information. I've already cleaned one canvas successfully and feel prepared to to a canvas repair as well. The pictures were very helpful and the information was clearly presented. I will be referring to this book regularly as needed.
. Oldale claims to have restored hundreds of paintings, and despite some minor flaws--a few misprints and some oddly useless illustrations--he has produced a very good book on an underserved topic. Recommended for all specialized libraries as well as most public libraries.-Margarete Gross, Chicago P.L.

All types of two-dimensional artwork are covered, including oil and acrylic
