Review by Gail Willis for An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists

I bought this book almost ten years ago for a drawing class I took. I still use it today for reference. This book has to be the most useful book I ever bought while I was a student. I have never gone back to my math or science books. But I always go back to this book. Buy it you won’t regret it.

I use this book constantly for both drawing and sculpting. There is enough variety that I don’t really need to reference any other books.

I’m not amazed that this book is still in publication. I bought the first press back in 1981 while still a junior in high school on the advice of Joe Kubert to study anatomy. It still sits in my reference today. The wealth of information that it contains should make this book cost more. The plates from Leonardo, the hand section, the muscle groups,on and on and on. This is the must have. You will not be disappointed.

This book contains blurry reproductions of master drawings (Michelangelo, etc.), crudely executed original drawings, hard-to-read text, and at least one error in labelling. Better artistic anantomy books are out there. Three books come to mind: Paul Richer’s Artistic Anatomy (from which some of the best drawings in Schider are taken), Eliot Goldfinger’s Human Anatomy for Artists, and Stephen Rogers Peck’s Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist.

Review by Triple for An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists

I have been doing studies out of this book for several months and it has proven itself useful many times over in helping me learn the subtleties of human gross anatomy. The additional plates are useful in that they give you different styles to look at and evaluate. It may be outdated today, having first appeared over fifty years ago, but as a beginner this has only made it more comforting.
I would hesitate to call this, or any one anatomy book, a definitive one, but it is a good choice to tote around since it’s relatively small and comprehensive.
