Secret Knowledge
rediscovering the lost techniques of the old masters
by David Hockney
isbn: 0-670-03026-0
Very interesting book. Lots of examples. He presents his case that many of the old masters probably used optical devices such as the camera lucida to make their paintings. He shows subtle clues from the paintings that indicate that optical devices were used. He also recreates experiments showing the effect of optical devices on sketches and paintings.
