I found this beautiful book last week in a second hand bookshop: 'Anatomie voor de kunstenaar', by Jeno Barcsay (1900, Katona - 1988, Budapest). Barcsay was a professor at the academy of Budapest. Very nice drawings - perfect for a figurative sculptor like me!! So last Sunday I spend all afternoon studying the muscles of the back. He made it all look very clear... Anatomy for the Artist (Muveszety Anatomia) (Plate XIV) This is a very nice picture , showing how the muscles work underneath the skin. Perfect drawings for a sculptor working with the human body. I'm still working on a huge sculpture 'battle of the Remains III', which I will make in white Covelano marble. The back is very important in this work, so pictures like this are like jewellery for me. |
