Description

A book whose sales have no longer diminished but slightly increased dramatically since its publication 45 years ago, this bestselling classic is without equal manual of drawing taught by the overdue Robert Beverly Hale, who’s famed lectures and classes at New York City’s Art Student League captivated artists and art educators from around the globe.

Faithfully producing and methodically analyzing 100 master drawings—including works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rodin, Goya, and Rembrandt among others—Hale shows how these artists tackled basic problems such as line, light and planes, mass, position and thrust, and anatomy. With detailed analytical captions and diagrams, each and every lesson is obviously delineated and illustrated. All over, also, is statement that sheds light at the creative process of drawing and offers deep insight into the unsurpassed achievements of the masters.
