Constructive Anatomy is a book written by George B. Bridgman in 1920. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of human anatomy, with a focus on the principles of construction and movement. It is aimed at artists, particularly those interested in figure drawing, and provides detailed instructions on how to draw the human form accurately and with a sense of three-dimensional depth. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of anatomy, such as the skeleton, muscles, and surface forms. Bridgman uses a combination of text and illustrations to explain the structure and function of each part of the body, as well as how they relate to one another. The illustrations are highly detailed and include both diagrams and drawings of the human body from various angles.Throughout the book, Bridgman emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying structure of the body in order to draw it accurately. He provides numerous examples of how to apply this knowledge to figure drawing, including tips on proportion, foreshortening, and shading. Overall, Constructive Anatomy is a valuable resource for artists looking to improve their understanding of human anatomy and to create more realistic and expressive figure drawings. It is a classic work in the field of art instruction and remains widely used and respected today.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
