Book Synopsis

For over 100 years, Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy has been a guide for artists and art students. It has been praised for its beautiful illustrations and pragmatic approach to drawing the figure, but it has also been vilified for being hard to read, hard to understand, and challenging to study from.

This modern studio reference edition has been completely reorganized and rewritten to make Bridgman's original ideas and illustrations more accessible to a modern audience: outdated vocabulary has been corrected; unclear illustrations have been colorized and clarified; ambiguous descriptions have been investigated and improved.
