materials–an artist will know from experience how different pigment-media com- binations behave. While this problem is quite difficult, most paint media can be reworked until the desired result is achieved. The inherent problem with fresco is that a dried brushmark is permanent and cannot be reworked. Thus, one needs to understand the time dependencies to correctly match colors between sessions. The color matching problem can readily be seen in the hue discrepancies in Masaccio’s giornate in his Expulsion from the Garden of Eden (Figure 1.2). The same problem occurs with the conservator’s practice of in-painting on losses of paintings. Occasionally, a painting will experience damage to the surface whereas a portion of the work has chipped off. One common technique of is to first disguise the loss with filling to regain the surface topology. The new surface is then retouched to match the current color, which places a large responsibility on correctly identifying the original pigments. Further, the fresh paint must be mixed such that the fresh mixture will age at a similar rate to that of the original surrounding colors. This is difficult as the original artwork will be at a much later stage in fading and will change at a much different rate to that of fresh paint. While a conservator may have carefully matched an in-painting section, the false area may display itself later in its own fading cycle. The difficulty of retouching artworks is further documented in [Sta85]. There is an importance consequence of the artist controlling the initial condi- tions of a paint. The artist knows the desired color for his or her artistic vision. Then, one can use knowledge of the evolution of a paint in order to modify the fresh paint such that the aged paint will be the desired result. This changes the conception of the term “artwork”, as the original is not necessarily the creative 185 vision. Rather, the evolving work moves incrementally closer to the artist’s intent
as it ages. This is in direct contrast to the current model of artwork, which must constantly be restored to a previous state to view the artist’s original intentions. In contrast, as an art conservator, one only has knowledge of the current con- ditions of a color in a painting. To make any assessments about the state of the <strong>pigmented</strong> colorant, typically one must first identify the pigments and media used in the work. After the composition of the work is known, two directions can be taken. In restoration, one would like to use paint evolution data to travel back in time to view the work in its original brilliance. This knowledge is used in deter- mining the best methods to clean and restore a work of art, as it provides how much a work should be changed to revert to a previous visual state. In conservation, the goal is to estimate future changes in the materials of the painting and assess what can be done such that the work can still be displayed without much deterioration from the current state. One hopes to minimize the perceptual change from the current state, such that future generations will be able to appreciate the work. In both of these instances, one travels along the same path, defined by the same original initial state. 186
