Anatomie artistique; description des formes extérieures du corps humain

Anatomie artistique; description des formes extérieures du corps humain au Repos et dans les Principaux Mouvements - By Paul Marie Louis Pierre Richer.

EXTERNAL FORMS OF THE TRUNK

To bring some clarity in the description of the outward forms of the trunk, it is absolutely necessary to subdivide it into several regions. We will follow the overall plan adopted by Gerdy, but introducing some changes especially tend to simplify.

Body parts as a common measure.

Here is a review from La Chronique médicale, 1899:

The Artistic Anatomy of Dr. Richer collected the most flattering votes in both the art world and in the assemblies. Artists such as Dalou, Gérôme, Bouguereau.Chaplain, approved highly of the thought which governed the making of this masterful Implementation.

The method of Dr. Richer is, moreover, called in the near future, to receive its official dedication in teaching. Its clarity, logic and precision ensure its future success. This method is the analytical method, one that proceeds from easy to complex, from the bone surfaces of the part to the whole, the known to the unknown. From center to periphery, we see the skeleton is covered successively coatings muscular, muscles deep muscles of the middle layer, and superficial muscles.

Perspective

 Learning the basics of perspective drawing is useful for anyone learning to draw figures and there are a few e-books on the website which teach the rules of perspective drawing.

Sometimes bending the rules creates interesting and great art. One artist who does that and seems to bend reality itself in his work is Friedhard Kiekeben.

He came to my attention because he purchased the e-book: An Introduction to Perspective Drawing and Painting.


Check out his web site, he has an interesting view on perspective and its constraints.
friedhardkiekeben.com and he has another very valuable site on which he shares his experiments and experience in non toxic printmaking nontoxicprint.com.


 Friedhard Kiekeben contributed to this book on printmaking: The Contemporary Printmaker: Intaglio-Type and Acrylic Resist Etching

Traite de Perspective is another old book on perspective drawing by Edme Sebastien Jeaurat (1725-1803). He was a French architect and Royal engineer-geographer. His course on perspective was the standard text book in France in the 18th century.
