Art Word of the Day: Marouflage
Term: Marouflage
Definition: From a French word meaning
'sticky' in English, it is a technique of adhering a completed canvas painting to a panel or wall with a thin coat of adhesive so that the image can become a mural. Glues for this process, which dates back at least 3,000 years, have been from rabbit skin or white lead ore. A positive of this process rather than direct application of paint to fresco is that the painting can be removed with minimal damage. Many of J.M.W. Turner's paintings in the Tate Gallery, London, have been 'marouflaged'. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marouflage

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
