Scott Hess, Alex Kanevsky, Alyssa Monks, Steve Mumford, Scott Noel, Natalie Frank, Anne Harris, Andrew Raftery, Nicola Verlato, Steve Mumford, Edgar Jerins and others, provide diverse historical contexts for the amount’s just about 170 works of art. The evolution of techniques — from classical cast drawing, viewpoint, and the camera obscura to using photography, Photoshop, and 3D-modeling — and changing cultural conditions from antiquity to cyberspace are examined, and using old and new techniques in recent figurative art described. Underscoring the art of the figure’s enduring appeal and the pedagogy of the New York Academy of Art, THE FIGURE is essential to someone keen on both tradition and progress in figure-primarily based art, from students to professionals and collectors.
