One of the most comprehensive & impressive works I have read about the Holocaust in a while;
Timothy Snyder approaches this terrible time from different aspects & totally changes how we
think about this timeline of history. Not like the usual Holocaust books that focus on the genocide,
rather, Snyder focuses on the politics & ideologies that made the genocide possible. A solid read.(FTC- I received this book from "Blogging for Books" for this review).
This nicely illustrated book gives artists and art students an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and the different types of motion, inspiring more realistic and energetic figurative art.
Fine-art instruction books don't normally focus on anatomy as it correlates to movement, despite its great artistic significance. Written by an expert on drawing and painting human anatomy, "Classic Human Anatomy in Motion"gives artists all they need to draw the human body.
Written in an easy format, the book is illustrated with many life drawing studies, as well as charts and diagrams showing the many anatomical and structural components. This comprehensive book features five sections, and each focuses on a different aspect of the human body: bones and joint movement, muscle groups, surface form and soft tissue characteristics, structure, and movement.
Each chapter "forms the artist to learn an artistic understanding of how motion changes the human figure and can create a sense of expressive vibrancy in one's art."
