Product Description:
Robert Beverly Hale is recognized as America’s greatest teacher of figure drawing and artistic anatomy. His legendary classes at the Art Students League in New York, where he taught for forty years, inspired generations of artists. Now Watson Guptill is proud to present his towering masterpiece, Master Class in Figure Drawing, in its 25th Anniversary Edition. Combining Hale’s words with the Old Master drawings on which his teaching method is based, the book captures the excitement of the great teacher’s classrooms. Each page radiates Hale’s magnetism, clarity, and wit; each chapter re-creates the drama of the lecture as Hale demonstrates that mastery of the figure and mastery of anatomy are inseparable. Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Rubens, Raphael, and scores of other artists illuminate each point. Learn from the great masters—both master teachers and master artists—with Master Class in Figure Drawing.

Rating:  - Buy only for the Old Master drawings

I practice my drawing skills by copying the masters and learning a lot in the process.
Rating: - Companion to tape series by Robert B. Hale
I purchased the companion tape series from Jo-An Pictures Ltd in NYC (212-532-5003) several years ago. The book and tapes record the lectures given by Robert Beverly Hale at the Art Student's League in NYC. You may never find better instruction on artistic anatomy and drawing the human form! He was without doubt the greatest instructor of this subject! The tapes are almost like attending his classes! You must draw from life as well as study this material to master the subject. If you cannot afford ... Read More
