Bridgman's Life Drawing - Paperback
by George B. Bridgman (Author)
Canadian-American artist, writer, and teacher George B. Bridgman taught anatomy and figure drawing for nearly fifty years at the Art Students League of New York. He is considered one of the most prolific art instructors of his time, and counted Norman Rockwell as one of his many students. Work from Bridgman's art books was even found in Jackson Pollock's sketchpad.
In Life Drawing Bridgman explores how artists can impart life into their subject matter, particularly the human form. With instructive text and numerous illustrations, this book explores how to discover the vitalizing forces of the body and communicate them in drawing. Bridgman begins with the study of movement, examining the main masses of the body - head, chest, and hips - and shows how they each relate to the motion of the overall form. He then proceeds to examine the figure in motion-bending, twisting, and turning- before moving on to examine all the individual components of the body in motion. Complete with over 500 of Bridgman's "life-drawings," this book is sure to benefit any artist, amateur, or professional.
