Hans Emmenegger. «Maltechnik-Notizbuch» und Werkprozess 1901–1905
KUNSTmaterial, Volume 6
With the aim of further developing his painting technique and improving the durability of his paintings, the Swiss painter Hans Emmenegger (1866-1940) meticulously documented his working processes, materials and techniques between 1901 and 1905. His ‘painting technique notebook’ was evaluated at the Swiss Institute of Art Research in Zurich and linked to the results of technological painting analyses. This volume presents the results of this research. Emmenegger's search for subjects, the function of studies, the painting process, his struggle for pictorial colour, his technical experiments and much more are explained.
