Morpho: Anatomy for Artists

Michel Lauricella is an internationally renowned expert in anatomy. Lauricella has spent time at many of Paris' most prestigious art schools, first as a student and then, for the past two decades, as an anatomy instructor. The Morpho: Anatomy for Artists series comprises thousands of Lauricella's masterful illustrations and diagrams, covering areas from the simplified human form in motion to the smallest details of musculature, flesh, bone, and cartilage.

As an experienced instructor and figure artist, Lauricella offers excellent advice about specific issues in rendering various parts of the body. This 320-page handbook covers the entire body and all the "behind-the-skin" knowledge you need to render figures in the classical tradition. The sturdy paper cover folds out in front and back to reveal quick reference tables for the skeleton and musculature.
