Classical Life Drawing Studio: Lessons & Teachings in the Art of Figure Drawing


Mr. UPS just delivered a new book from Amazon.com that I ordered several days ago. The cover is illustrated below and the book is a beautiful history of Figural Drawing at the Art Students League of New York. What a bargain for less that twenty bucks and a great addition to my library. I have included a sampling of the illustrations of 19th century drawings, although the volume includes illustrations of works of current instructors at the institution. The Introduction includes a History of Academic Figure Drawing titled "Academic Drawing: A Living Tradition." Here are the particulars if you wish to order the book and add it to your own library:
