ENCAUSTIC ART IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Anne Lee & E. Ashley Rooney, Foreword by Kim Bernard, Aft erword by Ellen Koment
(cid:129) From sculpture to collage, 79 artists describe and showcase their encaustic work
in different mediums
(cid:129) Demonstrates the wide range of encaustic applications of translucent or
pigmented wax
(cid:129) Showcases the fi nest contemporary examples of a 2,000-year-old art
From beehive to hotplate to the artist’s hand, encaustic has evolved as a versatile
medium applied to almost every artistic style. A long-overdue look at a newly
popular art form, this bookexplores 79 North American and international
artists’ feelings about their work inencaustic and how they use it to express their
inner worlds and the world around them. Eight chapters organize the artists by
geographical region and focus on how the heated beeswax and resin material is
used to create seductive, skin-like surfaces and rich, layered membranes. More
than 2,000 years old, this cross-disciplinary medium ranges from painting to
sculpture, assemblage, collage, and printmaking and encourages risk-taking in
a way that other materials do not. Its inherent contradictions—it can be hot
or cold, malleable or solid, opaque or translucent, layered or thin, permanent
or fragile—make it all the more fascinating.
As research director of Vose Galleries, Boston, anne lee wrote and designed
many exhibition catalogs. e. ashley rooney is the author of numerous books
on contemporary art.

arrangements of seashells in octagonal boxes
(cid:129) More than 300 photos show the precise detail of the shell work
techniques
(cid:129) They weren’t made by sailors!—the helpful introduction reveals the true
history of this centuries-old art
Here are new, contemporary perspectives on a craft from the 1800s,
including eighteen top artists’ insights about Sailors’ Valentines
plus more than 300 photos of their exquisite work. Th is collection
shows how the once-obscure Victorian-era craft has gained its
steadily-increasing popularity today. Sailors’ Valentines, amazing

returning home to America, England, and Holland. Th e surprising
history of the craft is explained—including how a 1961 revelation put
rest to the myth that sailors made these pieces. Highly imaginative,
remarkably colorful, and executed with great vision and precision,
these contemporary artists’ examples of Sailors’ Valentines will inspire
artists and others to become lovers of shell art themselves.

Valentines for fourteen years, and along the way has gott en to know
many of today’s Sailors’ Valentine artists. She spent her career as a
director of publications at various schools in New England. She is
