Drawing the Human Head

Watson-Guptill Pubns

Dynamic Anatomy

Hailed by teachers, students, and critics for fifty years, this manual presents both action studies and practical diagrams for portraying the human figure in motion and at rest. Anatomical details appear in pragmatic, generalized shapes that simplify identification and reproduction. More than 300 images complement the easy-to-follow text, which includes a valuable survey of art history and magnificent figure drawings by such masters as Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rodin, and Picasso. Burne Hogarth, called "the Michelangelo of the comic strip," is best known for his long-running Tarzan cartoons and for helping found New York's School of Visual Arts. In this study of the human figure, he explains muscular and skeletal structure from the artist's point of view, rather than that of the medical anatomist. Hogarth extends beyond the factual elements of anatomy to emphasize the relationship of mass to movement. His guide will prove an indispensable companion to artists at all skill levels who wish to render the human figure accurately and artistically.

History & Criticism

From the Introduction by Kenneth Smith: "There is more to the drawings in this volume than the isolates of the eye can capture; there is the ultimate concern out of which this man has put forth the particulars of his work, there is the spirit transcendent over hand and eye whose authority has left its scent on even the most tentative piece in this colleciton. You see throughout these pages, as in Hogarth's perhpas greatest work, Dynamic Light and Shade, brooding presences - bodies leaping like flames, advancing like panthers. Figures are animated by subtle as well as great passions, by energetic gestures and wholehearted pleas, by the mastery that makes an integral arch of sword and man - voluptuous, spirited work."
