A Manual of Artistic Anatomy: For the Use of Sculptors, Painters, and Amateurs (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Manual of Artistic Anatomy: For the Use of Sculptors, Painters, and Amateurs
The brief Manual, on a matter of national im portance, which I now venture to submit to public criticism, is simply the completion of an idea. Entertained by me for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. From the time, indeed, that I first taught anatomy, or rather I ought to say, studied ana tomical 'shapes, their import or signification, their relations to each other, and their artistic, philo sophic, and utilitarian aspects, I felt convinced, instinctively as it were, that the true relation of anatomy to art, meaning Fine Art, had been mis represented and misunderstood. But it was not until I had visited the galleries of the Louvre, and looked attentively at the Elgin Marbles, that I was in a position to support this view with an appeal to demonstration.
