Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. A substantial mid-century instructional art volume by noted illustrator and teacher Alexander Dobkin, presenting a comprehensive course in drawing the human figure. Organized progressively from proportion and skeletal structure through musculature, movement, drapery, and advanced drawing methods, the work draws heavily upon examples from the Old Masters and modern artists alike, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Rodin, Soyer, Raphael, Rubens, Picasso, and many others. Hundreds of illustrations, diagrams, anatomical studies, and reproductions accompany the text, making the volume both a practical studio manual and a survey of figure-drawing traditions from the Renaissance through the twentieth century.
