Loading... Artistic Anatomy (Practical Art Books)by Dr. Paul Richer
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) clarkland | Feb 24, 2016 |  Has plates which cover just the skeleton, plates on musculature, and plates with shaded drawings. The plates show the overall body and close-up plates of specific areas. My only complaint about this book is that the plates are organized with all the skeleton plates first and then the musculature plates. If you want to see an area it's hard to get the two views side-by-side. The text is very informative but definitely technical and pretty dry. You should be comfortable with medical anatomical terms. I found it interesting reading. ( ) wdavidlewis | Mar 5, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
Artistic Anatomy is widely acknowledged to be the greatest book of its kind since the Renaissance. The original French edition, now a rare collector's item, was published in 1889 and was probably used as a resource by Renoir, Braque, Degas, Bazille, and many others. The English-language edition, first published 35 years ago, brings together the nineteenth century's greatest teacher of artistic anatomy, Paul Richer, and the twentieth century's most renowned teacher of anatomy and figure drawing, Robert Beverly Hale, who translated and edited the book for the modern reader. Now Watson-Guptill is proud to reissue this dynamic classic with an anniversary sticker, sure to inspire drawing students well into our century. No library descriptions found. |
