Enamel in art

The book provides comprehensive information on enamel in art and introduces its historical and contemporary techniques

This is the first time that a detailed publication by a Czech author has been published on this more than 3000-year-old technique. The division of the book into theoretical and practical parts allows easy orientation in the text. A rich photo gallery of works by contemporary Czech and foreign artists is also supplemented by remarkable historical enamels. The book is conceived with an emphasis on introducing the diversity of enamel, from large-scale paintings to jewellery on precious metals.

In the theoretical part, the history of enamel in the world and in the Czech lands is presented in detail. The practical part contains inspiring examples of the work of seven artists with different approaches to material and technique. The book is not only for enamellers, but for all who are interested in this multifaceted technique. The aim of the publication is to present mainly more advanced procedures and the work of experienced professionals, but the beginner can also find useful information here.
