Publisher's Synopsis
Creating a picture of the human figure is a never-ending theme in art. Whether as perfect half-gods and beauty queens or realistic, touchable individuals, or whether as imposing rulers or tormented souls, images outlast us and tell of our time, our misery, and our dreams.We're surrounded by photographic images. Quickly created and often shared, they are ever present in today's picture cosmos but a drawn human figure is different. It is unique. The creation is more than just pushing a button; it is an intense moment of observation, followed by decisions, which are made with every line. How do I interpret what I see and show what I mean?
