Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated volume examines the different methods artists and anatomists used to reveal the inner workings of the human body and evoke wonder in its form. For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body—spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543—found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists. Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin

Book excerpt: 2024 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This instructive book presents excellent annotated line drawings of anatomical structure for the beginning artist. Explaining the subject in simple terms and with an extensive series of dynamic illustrations, the author identifies parts of the body and demonstrates a wide array of physical activities through his sketches. Following notes on proportion and drawing, chapters cover the human skeleton, head and neck, torso, arm, hand, leg, foot, and musculature. Numerous illustrations depict various views of these structures, movements of the human figure, as well as changes in the relative proportions of features at different ages. One of the best books in its field, Anatomy and Drawing helps demystify a complex subject by enabling students to visualize the muscles and bones under the skin, and covers just about everything a beginner needs to know about drawing the human anatomy. Its fullness of information is given in simple clear form, in the manner of the accomplished draftsman. The human figure, under its various condition of age, sex and action has been so completely recorded, in its larger aspects as with details; the mechanism of the body-its bone structure, sinews and muscles so thoroughly studied and presented, that your work is nothing short of an encyclopedia; and all this within reasonable limits and in excellent form. REVIEWS: I am astonished at the amount of study, research and orderly execution that was required for the making of your "Anatomy and Drawing." A very instructive book is Victor Perard's "Anatomy and Drawing.Its numerous and explicit drawings are of great value to the art student; to the beginner it serves to stimulate the interest and to realize the need of anatomical knowledge-for the advanced student and the artist it refreshes the memory in a vivid and thorough way. Mr. Victor Perard has given to artists and art students a very fine book on human anatomy.I have strongly recommended it to students attending lectures on anatomy as it is clear, definite, and very workable. The author thoroughly understands the muscles and bone structure, and also knows how to present the subject most interestingly to beginners and students. At last the mystery of drawing has been unfolded to future artists through the simple, carefully systematized methods of your book "Anatomy and Drawing." The knowledge you impart renders the artist's effort easier, gives his drawing more freedom, character and interest, thus enabling him to dispose more readily of his work.

Download or read book The Anatomy Lesson written by Nina Siegal and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in one day in 1632, The Anatomy Lesson is a stunning portrayal of Golden Age Amsterdam and a brilliantly imagined back-story to Rembrandt's first great work of art. Told from several points of view, ranging from a curio dealer who collects bodies for the city’s chief anatomist to philosopher Rene Descartes, the novel opens on the morning of the medical dissection that is to be recorded by the twenty-six-year-old artist from Leiden who has yet to attach his famous signature to a painting. As the story builds to its dramatic and inevitable conclusion, the events that transpire throughout the day sway Rembrandt to make fundamental changes to his initial composition. These changes will remain mysteries for centuries until a young art historian closely examines the painting in the twenty-first century, and makes surprising discoveries about the painter, his process, and his genius for capturing enduring truths about human nature in a single moment.
