Product Description
Product Description
This incredible collection contains drawings in which Dürer experimented with many methods: the "anthropometric system," learned from Leonardo; the "exempeda" method, known to most as the man inscribed in a circle, the human figure in motion and much more. While some drawings are theoretical, many more are life studies that rank among the finest ever done. 170 plates.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting, Aug 21 2008
By Hans Hummel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Human Figure (Paperback)
This book is so interesting as it shows how Dürer was constructing the human figure. He used geometry and many different proportional systems. There is even one heroic man of ten headlengths.Needless to say his artistic ideals were very different from those today.
I would highly recommend this book to all interested in figure drawing as well as the history of art. You will come closer to actually understanding such a wonderful artist as Dürer. You will also get to see how hard he was working so that he could truly understand and master the human figure.
His work in this book is very impressive.
Listmania!
