Summary "Pigments, Paint and Painting: A Practical Book for Practical Men" by George Terry is a comprehensive practical guide written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the science of pigments and paints, aiming to educate painters and craftsmen on the intricacies of materials and techniques essential for mastering their craft. It addresses the necessity of understanding not just practical skills, but also the scientific principles behind the materials used in painting, making it a valuable resource for anyone in the artistic or industrial painting field. At the start of the text, the author introduces the fundamental concepts of color and pigment, distinguishing between terms commonly misused in everyday language. The text explains how color perception is closely tied to light and discusses the qualities that pigments must possess to be effective in painting. This opening portion emphasizes the transition from traditional apprenticeship practices to a more knowledge-based approach in the industry, highlighting the growing importance of scientific understanding in the pursuit of both skill and livelihood for modern painters.
