These methods--some adapted from forensic digital photography and others developed specifically for art--empower a growing number of computer-savvy art scholars, conservators, and historians to answer longstanding questions as well as provide new approaches to the interpretation of art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePixels \u0026amp; Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e provides the first and authoritative overview of the broad range of these methods, which extend from image processing of palette, marks, brush strokes, and shapes up through analysis of objects, poses, style, composition, to the computation of simple interpretations of artworks.
