Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Extra-Illustration The work proved a vast success - for a book on such an artistic subject; and no one can have been more astonished than the laborious Old parson himself. It was extended, and ran through two editions within the life time Of Granger, who died in 1776. The effect of the book was to raise the price of engraved portraits five times their original value, for collectors began to illustrate the book itself. Hundreds of works were gutted in the most ruthless way, so that Hill Burton, in his delightful book-hunter, declared that the grangerite came to be contemplated with mysterious awe as a sort of literary Attila or Gengis Kahn, who has Spread terror and ruin around him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Illustration TO such a kind belongs the rude scratchings Of the primaeval man, whose limited powers Of speech forbade his adequately describing the forms Of those creatures whose pursuit meant life, whose disregard would mean death, and Of such kind were the hieroglyphics Of the East. Nay, who shall sav that the very forms Of letters themselves are not the outcome Of early effort to convey to the eye of another what might Otherwise only have been imperfectly communicated through other senses: a means to an end; a servant, a tool, in the hands Of him who would wield it. But in the beginning there was a making Of drawings and designs which had another purpose. The gourd, or rough clay vessel, was graved and marked with devices and forms suggested by the curves and shapes in Nature, but this was merely for decoration; to please the eye, and not to serve any purpose but to give pleasure. A means to an end in this sense perhaps, but note that the end was in the commencement Of it, and went no further after completion; it gave pleasure to the beholder and no more, and nothing more was intended or asked. Thus was Art born-not to teach, nor to explain, nor to illustrate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators Classic Reprint written by Allen W. Seaby and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" by Allen W. Seaby is a seminal piece on art study and the various techniques involved in creating the perfect illustrations. Seaby provides a detailed insight of the theoretical underpinnings of art forms coupled with various sample illustrations for the reader to appreciate common mistakes and myths around drawing. Spread across multiple chapters, Seaby opens with an enlightening introduction that establishes the rules within which every art student should work. For him, sense of proportion and originality are of prime importance in developing art. " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" contains dedicated sections on forms, tone studies, edge studies, related figures and landscaping among other types. Seaby closes with works of some of the well-known artists and tips for illustrators. While every section of the book is presented in vivid detail it is the section on drawing the human figure that merits specific mention as the author dedicates multiple chapters on the topic including preliminary notes, search for the perfect form as well as time sketching. Unlike many other books on art, " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" is not a straightforward 'how to' book. Seaby takes great pain in providing explanations and context to each of the aspects he explores in this work. Comparisons between various techniques including line drawing, charcoal and sketches as well as regional differences between the West and the east, specifically Japan make this book an interesting read not just for students of art but the casual enthusiasts as well. Not only will " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" enhance the abilities of proficient artists, it can also be an excellent starting point for amateurs and newcomers.

Download or read book The Art of Sermon Illustration Classic Reprint written by H. Jeffs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Sermon Illustration Every preacher covets the power to illustrate his sermons and addresses. Few preachers possess it in any marked degree. A fertile illustrator, like the poet and the painter, is born, not made. None the less, it is possible to cultivate the art; and the purpose of this book is to assist those who realise the necessity of being interesting, and are not destitute of imagination, to develop what gift they have. There are pitfalls in the way of the sermon and address illustrator, and the preacher and speaker will be put on their guard against them. The author has gone to the Bible as a store house of illustrations by inspired writers who possessed the art in perfection. Most of all he would send preachers to the Gospels, to Him who spake as never man spake, and without a parable spake He not unto them, for matchless examples of the illustra tion of spiritual truth. None realised as the Master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
