Figure drawing is the most essential - and the most difficult - of
all the skills for the artist to learn. In this manual Burne
Hogarth introduces his own system of figure drawing, which should
make it possible to visualize and accurately render the forms of
the human body from every conceivable point of view. First Hogarth
describes the forms of the human figure. Then he demonstrates his
"deep space" notion, a systematic sketching order that is the key
to drawing the figure with believable interconnection of forms and
control of foreshortening. By mastering this remarkable system,
artists should be able to draw an amazing variety of poses, actions
and gestures without a model, while maintaining the correct
relationship between forms.
Originally published in German in 1964, Professor Gottfried Bammes'
Die Gestalt des Menschen is still considered the definitive guide
to drawing the human form. Having undergone numerous editions since
it was first published and still much in demand today, this, the
first ever English translation of the complete work, has been long
awaited. Based on the most recent German edition and faithful to
the original, it contains over 1200 photographs, diagrams and
drawings, including work by the author himself, and spans over 500
pages. Now, both new and experienced English-speaking artists and
illustrators can benefit from the vast body of knowledge
accumulated and lovingly presented by Professor Bammes in his
acclaimed work. This comprehensive guide begins with the history of
human anatomy for artists, and its influence on the development of
the artistic visualisation of the body. Bammes goes on to explore
in depth the human skeleton and musculature; the proportions of the
body; the static and dynamic laws of posture and movement; body
language; and the interrelationships of the various elements of the
body. Through his systematic and practical approach to teaching,
the reader will acquire an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and the
ways in which it can be used to express the human form in art.
The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous,
late nineteenth-century drawing course. It contains a set of almost
two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by
drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature.
Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students,
art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also
introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master:
Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The
first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique
examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of
difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section
pays homage to the western school of painting, with lithographs
after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The
third part contains almost 60 academies, or drawings after nude
male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer.
With great care, the student is introduced to continually more
difficult problems in the close observing and recording of nature.
Charles Bargue started his career as a lithographer of drawings by
hack artists for a popular market in comic, sentimental and
soft-porn subjects. By working with Gerome, and in preparing the
plates for the course, Bargue was transformed into a spectacular
painter of single figures and intimate scenes; a master of precious
details that always remain observation and never became
self-conscious virtuosity, and colour schemes that unified his
composition in exquisite tonal harmonies. The last part of the book
is a biography of Bargue, along with a preliminary catalogue of his
paintings, accompanied by reproductions of all that have been found
and of many of those lost.
