In 1927, the leading art schools of the United States were invited to participate in a contest sponsored by the Art Students League of New York. A well-known artist and teacher, George B. Bridgman, directed the jury that selected the best figure drawings. Afterward, Bridgman assembled this splendid gallery of the best images from the competition.
Intermediate-level students will benefit from the study of these complete and detailed drawings. Sketches in charcoal, pencil, wash, pen and ink, and crayon include a tremendous variety of styles, poses, and techniques. In addition to its value as a handbook, this collection also offers an authentic reflection of the era’s excellent draftsmanship.

c’est un ouvrage encore assez complexe pour les débuts mais ce livre reste très interessant . à recommander pour le dessin anatomique
Simone Simonian –
This book looks more promising than it is. Do not be fooled by the cover, the drawings inside are not good enough to by the book.

男女合わせてのドローイングが正確には、109点が掲載されている。女性像は59点掲載。
線のみで、人物の骨格・筋肉をを表現してある作品もある。全身像・トルソー
胸部・婦人像の骨格・筋肉を強調した作品、2点だけだが、キュビスム的なドローイングも
ある。他には、非常に密度の高いドローイングが、多数掲載されている。
解剖学を知り尽くした画家であるから、深い表現が可能なのだろう。
この著者は、他にも作品集があり参考になると思う。

el libro trae muchas figuras del cuerpo humano en diferentes poses para poder practicar! Aunque solo sirve para copiar los dibujos o para usarlos un poco como referencia no hay nada relacionado con proporciones o técnicas,
