Fifty Figure Drawings (Dover Anatomy for Artists)

Crafted by leading students from the finest American art schools of the early twentieth century, these black-and-white illustrations represent a wide variety of life drawing styles. The original renderings—in crayon, charcoal, pencil, and ink—are beautifully reproduced here, with faithful attention to every shadow and nuance.
George B. Bridgman, a longtime instructor at New York’s Art Students League and a prominent teacher of figure drawing, selected these fifty drawings as examples of differing styles, techniques, and forms of artistic expression. Bridgman deliberately declined to accompany the drawings with critical text, in the expectation that the illustrations would speak for themselves. Inspiring for students and invaluable for instructors, this collection offers a wealth of expressive possibilities.

Un petit livre vraiment peu cher, contenant une cinquantaine de dessins académiques contemporains réalisés par des élèves de professeurs nord-américains reconnus. Un bon deux tiers est de toute beauté. Lorsque vous aurez copié tout ça avec le même soin vous aurez fait de gros progrès, croyez-moi…
Une autre source du plus grand intérêt sont les livres publiés par Dover autour des Maîtres du passé.

Good little book of sketches from the early 20th century. For $5 I’m not sure what there is to complain about. I use it for practice in conjunction with lessons I find on YouTube.

It is what it says it is, a collection of nice student figure drawings done in the thirties. I have a BFA, MFA and I’ve been a professional illustrator for 25 years and I gained a little more insight into expressing the figure by seeing how students approached drawing problems at that time.
Recommend it to anyone interested in drawing the human form.

This is a good book for a advanced artist but for a first time artist is was a bit hard to use.

Non è niente di speciale ma è comunque un buon libretto da utilizzare per esercitarsi nella copia anatomica di altri artisti.

Einfache aber sehr graziöse Zeichnungen wo Licht und Schatten auf einander treffen.Kleines Buch aber voller Überraschungen in Bleistift ,Kohle und Tinte.

Small, compact book filled with good information.

Libro de pequeño formato con unas reproducciones de no muy buena calidad que se antojan escasas a la hora de fijarse en ciertos detalles.

価格も廉価で内容もじっくり描きこまれた作品もあり勉強になる。

This book was thinner than I expected, but the poses were well worth the cost.

The size of the book is mini. If you don’t mind that, it’s an ok book. Minimal information and a little flimsy. Price is higher that what I feel it should be.
