Inhaltsangabe

This book is a complete reprint of the fabled but rare Drawing course (Cours de dessin) of Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme, published in Paris en the 1860s and 1870s. For moste of the next half-century, this set of nearly 200 masterful lithographs was copied by art students worldwide before they attempted to draw from a live model. This book will be valuable to a wide range of artists, students, historians and collectors, even as it introduces them to the hitherto-neglected master, Charles Bargue. The drawing course is separated into three sections, in an ascending order of difficulty. The first section consists of lithographs by Bargue after casts of sculptures, mostly antique examples, that present the structure of the human body with remarkable clarty and intelligence. The second part contains the lithographs that Bargue made after master drawings by Renaissance and moderns artists and the third section almost 60 exemplary drawings of nude male models.

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

"The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course" is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently, it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost sixty academies or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer.
