Synopsis

First published in German in 1964 as Die Gestalt des Menschen, this substantial guide sets out a systematic approach to understanding the human figure for drawing. Across more than 500 pages, Bammes traces the history of human anatomy for artists and explains how to study the skeleton and musculature, handle proportion, and apply the static and dynamic laws of posture and movement.

Illustrated with 1,222 colour images including photographs, diagrams and drawings, the book also addresses body language and the way the body’s elements relate to one another. Suitable for both beginner and experienced artists and illustrators seeking structured instruction in figure drawing.
