		Fresco is the most beautiful and enduring of all the plastic arts.
		Over the years while the fresco feeds the hearts and souls of those fortunate enough to abide under its splendor, the chemical process of carbonization continues within the wall, continually increasing the visual unity and luminosity of the work.
		I believe fresco is the most universal, simplest, the most direct, the most natural expression of the artist.

		In Renaissance Italy it was called buon fresco to distinguish it from fresco secco, which was executed upon dry plaster with pigments having a glue or casein base.
		In true fresco the binder is provided by the lime of the plaster; in drying this forms a calcium carbonate that incorporates the pure pigments, mixed only with water, with the material of the wall.
		During the Renaissance it was customary to prepare a cartoon of the same dimensions as the contemplated fresco.

		Fresco is the first collection of her poetry to be published in English, though many of the translations included here previously appeared in literary journals and magazines.

		Fresco, with its useful introduction and afterword, offers a decent introduction to a clearly talented poet, despite the fact that her work has perhaps not quite broken through the immense barrier that is translation.

	Reading Images - Fresco Technique
		The "true fresco" technique consists of painting on a wet plaster surface (usually a wall or ceiling), using pigments mixed with limewater.
		The chief advantage of cartoons was that they could be placed on the wet plaster, allowing the artist to keep the design before him rather than having it covered up by the fresh plaster as he worked.
		The fresco's design was still placed on the wall, but it was transferred there from the cartoon (either by tracing it with a stylus, which pressed the lines into the soft plaster, or by pricking the lines with holes and pouncing them with charcoal dust to leave a dotted-line impression on the wall).
