Anatomy and the Figure

Many years ago as an art student, I purchased from a medical supply company a natural bone human skeleton plus a number of skulls and assorted other bones. At the time I felt that having such a collection would aid in having a better understanding of the human form.

Although all the bones in this post are human nevertheless they share the same beautiful forms and contours with other vertebrate skeletons. I feel each one is like a perfect little sculpture all it's own. Bones like other natural forms have provided  inspiration to both twentieth and twenty first century artists especially sculptors.

I'll be back next week. I wish you all a great weekend. Cheers.
