Summary "How to Paint Permanent Pictures" by Maximilian Toch is a practical manual focused on painting techniques and materials, likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as an educational reference for artists who wish to produce durable artwork that can withstand the test of time. Maximilian Toch, a professor of industrial chemistry and an experienced pigment manufacturer, aims to educate artists about the importance of using the right materials to achieve permanence in their paintings. In this guide, Toch emphasizes the significance of selecting appropriate pigments and mediums to prevent common issues such as fading, cracking, and peeling that often plague artworks. He outlines a simple palette of colors that can suffice for most artistic needs and advises avoiding certain unstable pigments that can adversely affect longevity. Throughout the book, he shares insights gleaned from decades of experience in paint manufacturing, advocating for a more scientific understanding of materials used in painting. By highlighting proper techniques in preparation, application, and maintenance of artworks, Toch provides valuable knowledge for artists to create lasting pieces.
