5.0 out of 5 stars Art Students' Anatomy Edmond J. Farris, September 1, 2008

Andrea Dansby "soullivon" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Art Students' Anatomy (Dover Anatomy for Artists) (Paperback)

Couldn't agree more with the two previous posts about it being better

than most of the $20.00 anatomy books. this cheap book gives you a more

clear and concise view of human anatomy, perfect for beginners, and even

professionals, restated save your money buying fancy anatomy books, i find

it funny how i own majority of the top art anatomy books but yet i have this on my desk, and $400.00 worth of art anatomy books stored in the closet, interesting photos believe it or not this dull black and white 1935 edition with it's simplicity, and thorough lessons, your knowledge of anatomy will improve fast, BELIEVE ME THIS IS A MUST BUY...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Reference, November 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Art Students' Anatomy (Dover Anatomy for Artists) (Paperback)

This book is a Great value! Beats out most of the $20+ art anatomy books you see. Uses classical plates, photos, as well as well-rendered diagrams.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little archaic, not very useful for todays world., March 16, 2010

Brandon Dean "Book and Music nut" (Montgomery, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Art Students' Anatomy (Dover Anatomy for Artists) (Paperback)

This book is severely lacking in visual resources. Its images are few, and seem to be from the 50's. The men wear loincloths, where in a anatomy book nowadays there would be full nudity. The examples are not very illustrative. For the artist perhaps looking for that resource to occasionally reference, there are far better books nowadays.
