Anatomy and Construction: Book Overview
Anatomy and Construction of the Human Figure belongs to the Dover Art Instruction series. It is a two-part course in artistic anatomy. Part I covers the bones of the skeleton and their relation to the body’s masses. Part II deals with the muscles, their actions, and the effects of light and shade on form.
The book includes realistic plates of bones and muscles. Full-color images make clear distinctions between bone, muscle, and tendon. Construction drawings show simple methods of building the forms.
