Book Overview
Miller was the principal of the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia. In this book he condenses the perspective science an artist or draughtsman most often needs. He also explains that his aim is to connect the study with the artist’s work rather than demonstrate abstract theory.
The author does not claim to offer new principles. Instead, he presents clear, practical explanations developed through years of teaching drawing. He hopes readers will find the book useful and free from many technical difficulties found in larger treatises.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Essential principles of perspective for artistic and technical drawing
- Illustrations drawn by the author to support practical understanding
- Explanations developed from blackboard teaching for drawing classes
- A concise presentation designed for artists, draughtsmen, and teachers of drawing
- Guidance for readers who wish to explore the deeper science of perspective
Why This Book Matters
Miller wrote this book because the common handbooks and textbooks often made perspective seem contemptible, while more profound treatises put technical difficulties in the way. He wanted teachers and students of drawing to have a clear, practical text. The book also credits Professor W. E. Ware of Columbia College, whose teaching shaped Miller’s understanding of the subject.
