Arno Breker - female drawings

Arno Breker was best known for his athletic almost mannerist sculptures executed in Germany leading up to and during the World War II for many government commissions. He even traveled with Hitler to Paris after France was occupied. What I didn't know about him was that he was a more complex figure and used his influence with the government to win release of French sculptors, casters and stone masons from prison camps in order to work in his own studio. He participated in Operation White Dove to prevent Picasso from being arrested and sent to a concentration camp. In 1948 he was denazified in a court proceeding. After 1946 he had no room to work on sculpture in his studio in Bavaria and he concentrated on drawing and watercolors mostly of the female figure of which these are likely examples.

Drawing Contour Cross Sections in Figure Drawing

Contour cross section lines superimposed on an image from a Postcard of Galathée by the French Sculptor Laurent-Honoré Marqueste in the Musée du Luxembourg. When doing your drawing pay attention to the curve of the form, but also to the perspective of the form and the what the plane of the cross section would be if a cross section was actually made.
