We studied the surfaces of twelve transatlantic paintings with a stereomicroscope
to find traces of Mondrian's reworkings.
Mondrian usually removed existing paint to accommodate new paint. To avoid damaging his thinly painted black lines, he would stop just short of these lines when he scraped paint away, leaving traces of the old paint. Photomicrographs record a two-dimensional view because the camera is mounted on only one of the stereomicroscope's two oculars. This section features images acquired with a digital camera mounted on the microscope. Click on any indicated area to view selected micrographs from that location, or use the navigation arrow(s) above. |
