The power of the image of the nude--the expressivity of the
flesh--has inspired artists from the beginning. An understanding of
human form is essential for artists to be able to express
themselves with the figure. Anatomy makes the figure. Human Anatomy
for Artists: The Elements of Form is the definitive analytical work
on the anatomy of the human figure.
No longer will working artists have to search high and low to find
the information they need. In this, the most up-to-date and fully
illustrated guide available, Eliot Goldfinger--sculptor,
illustrator, scientific model-maker, and lecturer on
anatomy--presents a single, all-inclusive reference to human form,
capturing everything artists need in one convenient volume. Five
years in the making, and featuring hundreds of photos and
illustrations, this guide offers more views of each bone and muscle
than any other book ever published: every structure that creates or
influences surface form is individually illustrated in clear,
carefully lit photographs and meticulous drawings. Informed by the
detailed study of both live models and cadavers, it includes
numerous unique presentations of surface structures--such as fat
pads, veins, and genitalia--and of some muscles never before
photographed. In addition, numerous cross sections, made with
reference to CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging, and cut
cadavers, trace the forms of all body regions and individual
muscles. Information on each structure is placed on facing pages
for ease of reference, and the attractive two-color format uses red
ink to direct readers rapidly to important points and areas.
Finally, an invaluable chapter on the artistic development of basic
forms shows in a series of sculptures the evolution of the figure,
head, and hands from basic axes and volumes to more complex organic
shapes. This feature helps place the details of anatomy within the
overall context of the figure.
Certain to become the standard reference in the field, Human
Anatomy for Artists will be indispensable to artists and art
students, as well as art historians. It will also be a useful aid
for physical and dance therapists, athletes and their trainers,
bodybuilders, and anyone concerned with the external form of the
human body. With the renewed interest in figurative art today, this
will be an especially welcome volume.
