In *Anatomy for Artists Joint Forms and Muscular Functions*, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella presents a mechanical view of the human body. Similar to paleontologists, we can deduce the body’s muscular functions by studying the shapes of the bones. Starting with the joints, which are reduced to simple shapes such as pulleys and spheres, Lauricella teaches their connections to the muscular system, which is necessary for understanding movement. Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will facilitate your practice of imaginative drawing and will enrich your drawing from observation. Author — Michel Lauricella. Paperback. 96 pages. 4½" x 7" (12 cm x 18 cm).
