The success of any piece of artwork depends on a tacit arrangement between the artist, object and viewer. The artist agrees to apply care, precision and craft to their work, the object must faithfully present the artist's vision and the viewer must suspend disbelief and approach the object and the artist with open eyes and humility. But when an object is damaged, when the seams start to show the arrangement falls apart and not only is the artist's vision compromised but the viewer will only see those seams. The magic will disappear and the focus will be on the smoke and mirrors.

And also, I think he has no time to spare on things like that. Also, not always there is damage when not facing the painting, idk. Not all consequences can be shown or predicted. So we just have to believe him when he says it's a good preventive measure :D

I knew there was something else bothering me besides the fact that I was looking at dead animals. That's what it was. Always interesting to see how some artists can be so talented in some aspects, yet overlook or make mistakes in others within the same work. In general though, I've always been fascinated by trompe l'oeil. It's certainly way beyond anything I'm capable of.

It’s amazing the amount of care that goes into this process. The fact that he meticulously chooses his approach so as to protect even the parts of the artwork that most people will never see is a testament to his ethics as a conservator. It must be such a tedious job at times, but he never allows himself to sacrifice even the most minuscule part of the art. That board came off without even a scratch to the back of the painting.

I'm interested to understand why you didn't correct the curvature of the panel itself. It looked quite curved and I thought "a ha!" I can see the greenhouse / humidifier coming out to play. But it didn't. Why?

@balamb25 2 жыл бұрын
Maybe he put that in the proposal to the client and they rejected it for one reason or another (time, cost, etc). Because he never brought it up, I figured it was outside the scope of what he was told to do for the conservation.

i believe in previous videos, the backing he added actually kept the curve of the wood. it's already curved/warped and i assume to fix that ( at least in furniture making) you have the soak the wood to be able to reliably bend it without breaking. though i am surprised he didn't add some kind of backing to stabilize it
@Siansonea

My concern would be that any deformation of the panel to correct the curvature would cause stress on the paint layer, perhaps leading to paint loss.

It also seems possible to me that was how the panel was when the artist first painted the work. They would have selected a well-seasoned piece, and maybe they were fine with the bow. If that was the case, it certainly couldn't be corrected without impinging on the paint layer.

Of course having it completely conserved is best but just those things make a world of difference! There was even a painting that had surface cracks to the paint and I found myself analyzing that and how it could be fixed too. I watch too many Baumgartner videos 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣
