Papering over the cracks
Article Abstract:
It is important to have the right temperament to restore works of art, according to restorer and artist Justin Hawkes. The work is extremely demanding, and requires great concentration. A restorer's work must be removable, and this is what deters some people from training as a restorer. He shows remarkable skills of precision and deference in his restoration work, while his own paintings are modernist abstracts on a very large scale. The paintings he restores are generally muted in colour, while his own paintings are very rich in colour.
