Paintings

Paintings Lab

A wide variety of canvas and panel paintings are treated in the paintings laboratory, as well as more unusual supports such as copper, tinned iron, rawhide, cardboard or Masonite. Students learn how to clean, stabilize, and assess damage to a wide range of painting mediums, support, and frames. Recent department projects have included paintings by Alex Fournier, Rudolf Ray, Henry Inman, Victor Varsarely, and Hans Hofmann.
