SynopsisA book whose sales have not diminished but rather increased dramatically since its publication 45 years ago, this bestselling classic is the ultimate manual of drawing taught by the late 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 world. 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, every lesson is clearly delineated and illustrated. Throughout, also, is commentary that sheds light on the creative process of drawing and offers deep insight into the unsurpassed achievements of the masters., A book whose sales have not diminished but rather increased dramatically since its publication 45 years ago, this bestselling classic is the ultimate manual of drawing taught by the late 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 world.

  • Required for class, glad I bought It

    In depth analysis of 100 master drawings by Robert Beverly Hale, in regard to light, mass, anatomy and why something works when it's demonstrated with skill and lots and lots of practice. Not a flashy book by any means, but one that will help the serious art student that will take the time to look at and READ each breakdown, understand what's happening, and even copy each drawing (as I was instructed to do by my teacher at the Art Students League in NYC). Robert Beverly Hale was an instructor at The Art Students League for forty years. This book was first published in 1964, and has not changed since it's first publishing. This is the 45th Anniversary Edition printed in 2009 with a forward by Jacob Collins who was also a student at the League.
