Description

George B. Bridgman's "The Human Machine" presents the body as a complex work of art that moves and was designed to move. Through over 400 drawings, Bridgman illustrates the machine in detail, starting with the framework of bones and adding muscles, before showing how these components work together to create movement.

This comprehensive guide begins by examining each major section of the body, from head to toe, and shows how they function together. Bridgman also includes comparative drawings of simple machines to illustrate his anatomical approach. This unique perspective on human form is essential for students and serious artists looking to understand the structure and movement of the body.

First published in 1939, this unabridged republication offers a valuable insight into Bridgman's approach to figure drawing and anatomy. With its focus on the beauty and complexity of the human machine, "The Human Machine" is an important resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the human body.
