Description

Book Synopsis: “I recommend Fritz Schider's Atlas of Anatomy for Artists to those who wish to increase their understanding of the human figure.” — Robert Beverly Hale, Lecturer on Anatomy, Art Students League of New York. Adopted by Pratt Institute, Cleveland School of Art, Art Students League of New York, and others. For more than forty years, this book has been recognized as the most thorough reference book on art anatomy in the world. Schider's complete, historical text is accompanied by a wealth of anatomical illustrations, plus a variety of plates showcasing master artists and their classic works on the anatomy of the human body; a total of more than 350 illustrations, showing the placement, function, and characteristics of every anatomical detail of importance to the artist—593 illustration in total; plus, a bibliography compiled by Adolph Placzek.

This new and enlarged third edition contains:

Step by step presentations, from the simpler skeletal drawings at the beginning to the more complicated body-in-action sketches at the end.
The juxtaposition of anatomical drawings and life photographs, making it easy to compare the inner structure of the body with its outer form.
Cross-section drawings that give the artist a thorough understanding of the relation of the muscles to each other, to the bone structure, and to the internal organs of the body.
Constructive anatomical action drawings that reveal the interplay of muscles and skeleton in different positions.
The comparative proportions of the male, female, child, and adolescent.
A supplementary text on important features of each anatomical position, including the action of the muscles and their origin.
A new section on hands, selected by Heidi Lenssen.
A wide selection of illustrations from the works of Vesalius, Leonardo, Goya, Ingres, Michelangelo, and others, newly augmented with 10 plates from Cloquet's “Anatomie de l'Homme” and 16 illustrations from Boscay's “Anatomy.
Twenty-eight photographs of growing children from the research work of Nancy Bayley.
Six action studies (each consisting of about 30 photographs) from Muybridge.
