Works from the "Poem series" by the Japanese artist Haku Maki.
Specific paints on paper developed by Gustave Baumann. Scientific Techniques & Findings
Paint materials from the Highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Researchers applied a suite of sophisticated tools—such as FTIR microscopy, SEM-EDS, and Raman microscopy—to characterize pigments, binders, and deterioration products. The findings contribute to:
Understanding how artists made their work and what materials they chose.
This research focuses on the technical analysis of diverse artworks housed at institutions like the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW). Unlike European easel paintings, which have been extensively studied, these "non-easel" works often lack detailed scientific investigation regarding their materials and degradation. Key Artworks Investigated
Informing how to treat paint degradation and manage lightfastness to preserve these unique objects for the future. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more
