Maurice-Quentin de la Tour was among the most acclaimed of the estimated 2,500 artists specializing in this medium in 1780s Paris. Though she first found success with miniatures, this medium brought renown to Rosalba (10[2])Carriera. (10[3])This medium largely (10[1])replaced the trois crayon (-5[1])(“trwah crah-yohn”) technique when it exploded in popularity in the 18th century, and it was repopularized a century (-5[1])later (-5[1])by the Impressionists. (-5[1])Traditionally, (-5[2])gum arabic binders held together (-5[1])the pigments (10[1])used in this medium in bars. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this medium that uses sticks of (10[1])unmixed colors, (10[2])which lends its name to (10[1])pale, (10[1])low-saturation (10[2])colors. (10[2])■END■ (10[6]0[1])
