MODELLING & SCULPTING THE HUMAN FGR

The republication of this highly valuable text by Edouard Lanteri, a renowned teacher, sculptor, and intimate friend of Rodin (Rodin called him “my dear master, my dear friend”), makes it possible for serious students to gain the requisite skills needed for figurative sculpture and to bridge the gap between artistic concept and figurative realization. Modelling and Sculpting Animals, together with its companion piece Modelling and Sculpting the Human Figure, is the classic treatise on the techniques of figurative sculpture. A profusion of illustrations – over 200 photographs, drawings, and diagrams – clearly demonstrate every principle and method the author describes. 64 full-page photographic plates, 139 drawings and diagrams.
