Synopsis

Although written in 1913, this brilliant and authoritative guide to drawing is still highly relevant today. Speed, a highly regarded painter in his time, takes the student comprehensively through approaches, techniques and materials and illustrates them all with diagrams and paintings from both his contemporaries and the Masters. He also discusses various aspects of the science and philosophy of art, such as the use of proportion, the nature of talent and the definition of beauty. This handsome new edition from Benediction Classics contains all the original plates and diagrams and would be a great addition to the resources of any budding artist.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
