Libro: Basic Human Anatomy: An Essential Visual Guide for Artists (978-1-58093-438-1) de Roberto Osti (Monacelli Press ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Humanas .Arte .. A comprehensive, yet flexible and holistic approach to the human body for artists, Roberto Osti's method of teaching anatomy is exhaustive, but never loses sight of the fact that this understanding should lead to the creation of art. Basic Human Anatomy teaches artists the simple yet powerful formula artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the inside out. Osti, using the basic system of line, shape, and form used by da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo, takes readers step-by-step through all the lessons needed in order to master this essential foundation skill. Organized progressively, the book shows readers how to replicate the underlying structure of the body using easy-to-understand scales and ratios; conceptualize the front and side views of the skeleton with basic shapes; add detail with simplified depictions of complex bones and joints; draw a muscle map of the body with volumetric form and realistic dimension; master the feet, hands, and skull to create realistic renderings of the human form; and apply a deeper knowledge of anatomy to finished drawings for more impact. 0

Libro: Hamptons Modern (978-1-58093-594-4) de Sokol, David (Monacelli Press ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. 003cb003eLong known as an enclave for the wealthy and glamorous, today the Hamptons and nearby coastal communities have become a haven of seaside modernism. 003ci003eNew Hamptons Houses003c/i003e 003ci003e003c/i003eshowcases houses that reflect the area?s design history and strong affinity for its landscape.003c/b003e003cbr003e003cbr003eThere are few places in the United States that have experienced as many waves of American modernism as Long Island?s East End. In 003ci003eNew Hamptons Houses,003c/i003e author David Sokol explores the latest architectural experiments taking place in New York?s legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design increasingly mainstream in the region, the seventeen residences featured here reflect modernism?s spread across not just the Hamptons but up-and-coming destinations like Bellport and Montauk, Greenport and Mattituck. Yet perhaps more important, the houses featured here represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling properties for the elite; these projects return to modernism?s founding principles, shun Instagrammable spectacle, and steward the East End?s increasingly fragile landscape. 003cbr003e 003cbr003eThese houses interface with the seaside landscape in ways that that reference the Hamptons? rich design history and sensitively highlight Long Island?s famed natural beauty. Some are renovations and additions to houses by famed twentieth century modernists like Andrew Geller, Charles Gwathmey, and Norman Jaffe, and leading offices such as Bates + Masi, Young Projects, and Ryall Sheridan Architects represent the contemporary approach to twenty-first century regionalism. 003ci003eNew Hamptons Houses003c/i003e presents these and numerous other examples of design-forward residences that are responsive to terrain, building vernacular, and cultural legacy.003cbr003e 0
