Watson-Guptill Artistic Anatomy, The Great French Classic on Artistic Anatomy

Translated and edited by Robert Beverly Hale, this book is the most complete guide to achieving precise shapes for the forms of the human body. The original French edition, now a rare collector's item, was published in 1889 and was likely used as a resource by Renoir, Braque, Degas, Bazille, and many others. The English-language edition, first published 35 years ago, brings together the nineteenth century's greatest teacher of artistic anatomy, Paul Richer, and the twentieth century's most renowned teacher of anatomy and figure drawing, Robert Beverly Hale, who translated and edited the book for the modern reader.
