Title: I know I am supposed to revere Bridgman - - - BUT... !!!
Review: I have had this book for forty years now. I was told as a young artist that this was THE book which would show me the way. I did find the way, my way anyway, but this book had nothing to do with it. In art circles there are certain names which it is taboo to speak critically about. Do not attempt to give this book less than five stars if you are within 50 blocks of the Art Student's League. I cannot tell you how many times I have been told "this is the greatest work on anatomy bar none! Likely the greatest work on anything !!!" What abject nonsense. I don't get it. I am forty years along now, and I just do not get why this is a good book for anyone's purpose regarding artistic anatomy. It is no more than an intro, and at that a VERY POOR one! It has nothing to do with Brigman's talent or his ingenuity. These seem just some of his notes on the subject anyway. It is no Grand work. One star. That is that! Still and all - maybe it's just me.
Is the review positive or negative?
