Synopsis
Helpful approach to difficult area. Almost 200 drawings plus text and examples from work of Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt, others., Helpful approach to difficult area by expert instructor who puts emphasis on anatomy as well as perspective and planes. Almost 200 drawings plus text and examples from works of Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt, and others., Certainly one of the most difficult, often neglected areas of art study is the correct rendering of heads, features, and faces. This volume, prepared by an expert in the field, is devoted exclusively to just that. With its clear, concise text, its almost 200 excellent illustrations, and its overall life-drawing approach, the book provides valuable guidelines on how best to portray faces, features, and heads. There is probably no better instructor to turn to than George B. Bridgman. He brings to the subject both his expertise as an artist and his fifty years' experience as lecturer and teacher at the Art Students League of New York. Throughout the book, he places as much emphasis on perspective and planes as on anatomy. In this way, you'll develop a more precise understanding of each feature, the head and face in general, the relationship between features, and the relationship between a specific feature and the face or head. Mr. Bridgman's consideration of the head includes such topics as the head at eye level and below eye level; planes of the head; and round and square forms. Four features -- eye, nose, mouth, ear -- are dealt with in detail. Sections on light and shade, comparative measurements, and principles of cube and oval construction further enhance the scope of the book. The finely executed drawings complement the textual material, illustrating all important concepts. Of special value is the author's inclusion of the work of famous portrait artists. Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt, Reynolds, Louise Elisabeth LeBrun -- these are the people who made portraiture a master art; and you'll be able to study, up close and at your leisure, the qualities that let their work achieve the status it did.

- 5***m (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseToday is 8/26/24. I have not yet received this item from the vendor, therefore I can not rate it. I can rate the (lack of) delivery though. MINUS 15 ON A SCALE OF 1 - 10. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN OR IF I WILL EVER RECEIVE THIS ITEM.. It evidently was shipped via USPS. Well there's the problem.Follow-up from: 5***m- Feedback followed up on by buyer.- Feedback followed up on by buyer.This vendor went above and beyond to correct the nondelivery of the item that I ordered. Response to my communication occurred within a few hours and a replacement shipment was sent the next day. The vendor even told me to keep the original shipment if it showed up. I did receive the replacement shipment within a few days. This vendor's performance was excellent and I would certainly use him again in the future. LOST SHIPMENT BY THE USPS WAS THE ENTIRE CAUSE OF THIS FIASCO-WHAT A DISGRACE!
