Bücher von George B. Bridgman

En el libro de "Anatomía Constructiva", Bridgman desarrolla y enseña su método para el dibujo de la figura humana a partir del uso de "cajas".El ojo percibe los contornos, los planos y los volúmenes. Bridgman argumenta que en el dibujo la línea es lo primero. Pero antes que el dibujo, precede una construcción mental donde el concepto de volumen viene primero, luego el plano y finalmente la línea. Las diferentes partes del cuerpo pueden abstraerse en simples formas geométricas. Para entender mejor los volúmenes, el movimiento y las luces, Bridgman recomienda utilizar formas cúbicas o de cuña, en vez de formas redondeadas o cilíndricas. En las partes articuladas cada una acopla con la siguiente a manera de ganchos, cuñas o engranajes. Quiere aprender a dibujar correctamente la figura humana? Este libro te da todos los elementos básicos para lograr una construcción sólida, a través de la comprensión de los volúmenes del cuerpo y la geometrización de la anatomía. La simple acción de copiar las bellas ilustraciones de este libro lo convertirán en un mejor dibujante. Anatomía Constructiva es un libro para todo aquel que quiera mejorar su dibujo de anatomía y una imprescindible referencia para profesores y dibujantes profesionales. Contiene cientos de dibujos que cubren la estructura ósea y muscular: cabeza, manos, brazos, torso y piernas analizadas en detalle. Un enfoque directo y efectivo, tratado con simpleza y entusiasmo.

2018 Reprint of 1920 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Illustrated Edition. Constructive Anatomy, an anatomical reference guide for the working artist, sculptor, and student, graphically shows important parts of the human body both in motion and in repose - hand, wrist, thumb, fingers, forearm, arm, armpit, shoulder, neck, head, eye, nose, ear, mouth, chin, trunk (front, side, and back), pelvis, hip, thigh, leg, knee, ankle, foot, and toes. Drawings of bone and muscle structure of the working of the joints and the interrelation of the various parts of the body are mainly concerned with movement of all sorts - movements that are described in detail as well as illustrated. The bending, twisting, and turning, creasing and interlocking of the various parts of the body are represented in drawing as the wedging of masses in specific ways that are clearly defined by Mr. Bridgman. Every artist will save tedious hours of research with this simple but effective approach, and will be delighted with its directness and fervor."Excellent. The most valuable, detailed anatomical studies (which are also beautifully drawn) of all parts of the figure." - American Artist"The best book on artist's anatomy available anywhere." - Art Students League NewsCountless artists and students since 1920 have used this and other books by George B. Bridgman (for nearly 50 years a teacher at the Art Students League in New York) for a solid foundation and understanding of human anatomy. They have found, and continue to find, that his unique way of discovering the vitalizing forces in the human form and realizing them in drawing carries the student pleasantly over one of art's most severe hurdles. Bridgman's superb anatomical sketches, of which there are nearly 500 in the book, also bring clearly to fruition his lucid theories of how to draw the human body in its structure and its complex movements.

"Constructive Anatomy" is George B. Bridgman's excellent book of anatomical drawing instruction. Ideal for beginning to intermediate artists, "Constructive Anatomy" begins with instruction on drawing hands and works its way through the human body giving detailed instruction on how to draw realistic human figures. Bridgman's drawing methodology builds upon the analysis of human anatomy, how the skeleton fits together, and how muscle sits upon the skeleton to create the human form. Once an artist comprehends the anatomical construction of the human body great confidence can be gained in realistically depicting the human body. With consideration to three dimensional perspective and how figures look as they move through space "Constructive Anatomy" provides a foundation for life drawing that the aspiring artist can build upon throughout their artistic life.
