Warning
On this English version of the site, there
is now three kinds of translated webpages :
* those whose translation
have been made or read and corrected by professional translators.
* those which are only
"fresh" translations.
* the (very) temporary translations.

Dotapea is an
abbreviation, in French, for "Documentation
technique sur les arts
plastiques et
avoisinants" (Technical documentation on the
visual and related arts).
And so our
editorial domain extends from casein tempera to
contemporary installations, oils for painting to decorative distemper, from
the manufacture of papers to methods of applying paint, from polyester
resins to the composition of pigments and binding agents, from the
saponification of esters to fresco whitewash, from watercolours to
basalt sculpture, from tadelakt to candle wax, from charcoal drawing
to artistic composition.
and all the way to molecular structures, the
formation of salts and atomic electro-negativity.
Which is to say how much
this site is anchored in material reality -that is, the physical-chemical
and practical properties - of the visual arts.

It is coupled
with ArtRéalité.com, which offers the "cultural" side of the Visual Arts and
Reality network. In addition, it has very close ties to other sites which
are currently only in French, such as Pourpre.com.
Our (very numerous) pages
are in the process of being translated.
