Publisher's Synopsis
Constructive Anatomy is a classic book written by George B. Bridgman in 1920 that provides a comprehensive guide to the study of human anatomy for artists. The book is designed to help artists develop a better understanding of the human form and its underlying structure, which is essential for creating realistic and accurate drawings and paintings.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the human anatomy, including the skeleton, muscles, and joints. Bridgman's approach to teaching anatomy is unique in that he focuses on the construction of the body, rather than simply memorizing the names and locations of individual muscles and bones.Throughout the book, Bridgman provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the various parts of the body and how they are connected. He also includes practical exercises and tips for drawing and sketching the human form, making this book an invaluable resource for artists of all levels.Overall, Constructive Anatomy is a must-read for anyone interested in improving their understanding of the human form and creating more realistic and lifelike art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
