Pigments
For the past 30 years, I have increased my knowledge of the physical part of painting: pigments, dyes, binders, historical and modern formulas.
Passion: researching dyestuff
I have done research and collected information on various aspects of dyes and binders, and I have looked at them from cultural, historical, chemical, technological, literary, anecdotal, and artistic points of views.
In cooperation with other experts, I presented my research findings in the book «Farbpigmente, Farbstoffe, Farbgeschichten» in 2010. Since then, the book has become a standard text in art, art schools, art history, restoration, architecture, design, and artistic craftwork.
