Description

“Excellent. The most valuable, detailed anatomical studies (which are also beautifully drawn) of all parts of the figure.” — American Artist
“The most productive book on artist’s anatomy to be had anywhere.” — Art Students League News
Countless artists and students because the 1920s have used this and other books by George B. Bridgman (for almost 50 years a teacher on the Art Students League in New York) for a solid foundation and understanding of human anatomy. They’ve found, and continue to find, that his unique way of discovering the vitalizing forces in the human form and realizing them in drawing carries the student pleasantly over one of art’s most severe hurdles. Bridgman’s superb anatomical sketches, of which there are nearly 500 in the book, also bring clearly to fruition his lucid theories of how to attract the human body in its structure and its complex movements.
Constructive Anatomy, an anatomical reference guide for the working artist, sculptor, and student, graphically shows important parts of the human body, both in motion and in repose — hand, wrist, thumb, fingers, forearm, arm, armpit, shoulder, neck, head, eye, nose, ear, mouth, chin, trunk (front, side, and back), pelvis, hip, thigh, leg, knee, ankle, foot, and toes. Drawings of bone and muscle structure of the working of the joints and the interrelation of the quite a lot of parts of the body are principally concerned with movement of all sorts — movements that are described in detail in addition to illustrated. The bending, twisting,and turning, creasing and interlocking of the quite a lot of parts of the body are represented in drawing as the wedging of masses in specific ways that are clearly defined by Mr. Bridgman.
Every artist will save tedious hours of research with this simple but effective approach, and will be delighted with its directness and fervor.
