SynopsisThis new and enlarged third edition contains a new section on hands, selected by Heidi Lenssen; a wide selection of illustrations from the works of Vesalius, Leonardo, Goya, Ingres, Michelangelo, and others, newly augmented with 10 plates from Cloquet's "Anatomie de l'Homme" and 16 illustrations from Boscay's "Anatomy"; 28 photographs of growing children from the research work of Nancy Bayley, plus 6 action studies (each consisting of about 30 photographs) from Muybridge; a bibliography compiled by Adolph Placzek; a total of more than 350 illustrations, showing the placement, function, and characteristics of every anatomical detail of importance to the artist. For more than forty years, this book has been recognized as the most thorough reference work on art anatomy in the world. Now, it recommends itself even more strongly to the serious artist as an important study aid. Among its features are: (1) Clear, systematic presentation, taking the student step by step from the simpler skeletal drawings at the beginning to the more complicated body-in-action sketches at the end. (2) The juxtaposition of anatomical drawings and life photographs, making it easy to compare the inner structure of the body with its outer form. (3) Cross-section drawings that give the artist a thorough understanding of the relation of the muscles to each other, to the bone structure, and to the internal organs of the body. (4) Anatomical action drawings that reveal the interplay of muscles and skeleton in different positions. (5) The comparative proportions of the male, female, child, and adolescent. (6) A supplementary text on important features of each anatomical position, including the action of the muscles and their origin. "I recommend Fritz Schider's Atlas of Anatomy for Artists to those who wish to increase their understanding of the human figure." -- Robert Beverly Hale, Lecturer on Anatomy, Art Students League of New York. Adopted by Pratt Institute, Cleveland School of Art, Art Students League of New York, and others., Schider's complete, historical text is accompanied by a wealth of anatomical illustrations, plus a variety of plates showcasing master artists and their classic works on anatomy. 593 illustrations., In this expanded edition of a classic work, Schider's complete, historical text is accompanied by a wealth of anatomical illustrations. A variety of plates showcasing master artists -- including Leonardo, Rubens, Michelangelo, Muybridge, and Vesalius -- and their classic works on anatomy are also included. Features 593 illustrations.

Has some of the needed information.
It contains the pictures of the muscles needed to learn. It has some pictures of children but you can only get some proportions from them. The books illustrations where done with lines. This allows a very clear and easy understanding of the form of the bones and body. Other books will use a different method, making the form harder to understand. It shows nothing about fat build up. Something missing form most books. It has some pictures of differences in different kinds of skulls. It shows the differences in the male and female hip. It shows a few different types of female breasts. There a very few books that show female genitals, this one has it. There are no bottom to up pictures. There are no top to down pictures. This is not a figure drawing book. For that I recommend getting Micheal Hamptons book on figure drawing, then learning anatomy from this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great deal
This is an old book recently updated and improved. The atlas has been made with the artist who wants to improve their figure drawing in mind. The drawings are clear and well labeled.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
