Recensioner

Dynamic Figure Drawing is the most essential-and the most difficult-of all skills for the artist to learn. The hardest problem is to visualize the figure in the tremendous variety of poses which the body takes in action, poses which plunge the various forms of the body into deep space and show them in radical foreshortening. Foreshortening itself is, in fact, the single most challenging aspect of figure drawing.

This book introduces the author's own revolutionary system of figure drawing-a system which makes it possible to visualize the forms of the human body from every conceivable point of view as they interlock in deep space. With this system you will be able to draw an incredible variety of poses, actions, and gestures without a model, and with the correct relationships between forms.

Burne Hogarth was a founder of the School of Visual Arts in New York Citiy, where he served as Coordinator of Curriclum, Design, and Art History. His famed lecture demonstrations of anatomy and drawing provided the material for Dynamic Anatomy, Drawing the Human Head, Dynamic Figure Drawing, Drawing Dynamic Hands, and Dynamic Light and Shade.

Mr. Hogarth received his education and art background in Chicago, where he started a diversified professional career that embraced some forty years of experience in art education, fine art, illustration, advertising, and newspaper art. He achieved worldwwide recognition with his illustrations for the Sunday newspaper illustrated 'Tarzan' and has since published Tarzan of the Apes and Jungle Tales of Tarzan in book form. His cartoons, drawings, prints, and paintings have been exhibited at the Musee des Arts at Decoratifs of the Louvre in Paris.

This oversized collection begins Burne Hogarth's run on the Tarzan color Sundays, when Hogarth took over for Hal Foster in 1937. Hogarth's no Foster, but he does a good job and the storylines are mostly interesting, although his battle scenes tend to feel a little similar. Lots of fun.

** I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads. **

This is a gorgeous and well put-together collection of old Tarzan comic strips. Beautifully reprinted strips with some the amazing and fun stories that I remember from the comic strips of the past. Hogarth's illustrations are just as gorgeous as ever in this new format. Wonderful and highly recommended!

A gtreat piece of work. All the folds and wrinkles, described and illustrated. Next to a good anatomy book, this may be the most important work on detailing the figure around.
