This makes the collection a lot more accessible. I'm sure you could build an audience for a lot more of these. Nice!

As someone who has employed the use of acrylic stains on canvas in the past, I had wondered about conservation & protection against fading/bleaching, I found this video very interesting & a little ironic, in the use of drying in bright sunlight to help restore artwork . I was hoping that someone had invented a stabilizing, transparent wash that would prevent further deterioration?

How does it not shrink from the exposure?

Yes. So the paint soaked into the canvas material

I am disappointed by this. Washing a painting made on raw unprimed canvas will remove inherent size that is in the fabric when it is woven. Washing will activate that size, wash it out and weaken the structure of the fabric. The painting is no longer what Louis intended, if indeed he painted it on raw unprimed canvas. At that stage of his career I think he worked on raw canvas. If it were me entrusted with cleaning the painting I would have tested the wash idea on similar unprimed canvas, then observed the change in the fabric. It would thin the fabric, change the nature of its structure. I would use a non-invasive method and avoid physical contact unless the paint were falling off the canvas, which should not happen because it ought to be absorbed into the fabric. A gentle flow of air from a distance would be a start with dust loosened and vacuumed in the air, not touching the canvas. Just a thought.

I like your idea of doing a test on a different canvas first and observe the changes...perhaps they did but yeah it's very shocking to see work like Morris' handled like this when he was very guarded to the public eye.

I agree, I think with your point of view….A very risky approach & it may have undermined the attachment of the paint to the canvas. I was hoping to discover that somebody may have produced a transparent Matt wash that could be applied to stabilized the paint & prevent further discoloration? It seems odd to me to dry it in strong sunlight…
