Anatomy For Artists (1890)

Anatomy for Artists, written by John Marshall and originally published in 1890, is a comprehensive guide to human anatomy designed specifically for artists. The book is divided into three sections: the bones, the muscles, and the surface forms. Each section provides detailed illustrations and descriptions of the anatomy, including the structure and function of each bone and muscle, as well as how they work together to create movement and form. The book also includes chapters on the head and neck, the torso, the arms and legs, and the hands and feet. In addition, there are sections on foreshortening and perspective, as well as a glossary of anatomical terms. Anatomy for Artists has been considered a classic in the field of art education for over a century, and is still widely used today by artists, art students, and medical professionals alike. The book's clear and concise descriptions, along with its detailed illustrations, make it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of human anatomy and how it relates to art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
