The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth-century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting, with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost 60 academies, or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer. With great care, the student is introduced to continually more difficult problems in the close observing and recording of nature. Charles Bargue started his career as a lithographer of drawings by hack artists for a popular market in comic, sentimental and soft-porn subjects. By working with Gerome, and in preparing the plates for the course, Bargue was transformed into a spectacular painter of single figures and intimate scenes; a master of precious details that always remain observation and never became self-conscious virtuosity, and colour schemes that unified his composition in exquisite tonal harmonies. The last part of the book is a biography of Bargue, along with a preliminary catalogue of his paintings, accompanied by reproductions of all that have been found and of many of those lost. AUTHORS: A renowned specialist in nineteenth-century academic art, Gerald Ackerman (1928-2016) was the author of several books including The Life and Work of Jean-Leon Gerome, The Orientalists of the British School and The Orientalists of the American School. Graydon Parrish is a renowned figurative painter, famous in the United States for his allegory Remorse, Despondence, and Acceptance of An Early Death, at the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, Massachusetts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for learning serious drawing
Reviewed in Canada on 30 January 2023

It is a great book for learning serious drawing. The drawing sample is very clear in the book. Good quality. The delivery package is good, too. No damage in the book when I received. I am very happy to order it online.

If possible, I wish the publisher could provide a binder version of the book. By doing so, it will be a lot easier for a learner take out a sample drawing pager freely and clip it on the easel to draw. Now I have tear down all the pages and make a binder book myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Intuitive Realism Drawing Method
Reviewed in the United States on 11 October 2021

This drawing book is superb. I have a very hard time following art instruction books as they tend to be overdone with the commentary making the instruction hard to follow.

this course is different. The brevity of the instructive commentary is unique and succinct, and it is very effective. Rather than taking up much of your time reading instructions for each of the images you draw through the course, the authors give you a general set of rules to follow in every drawing at the beginning then most of the course is copying the images from the book using these guidelines. You start with very simple line drawings that increase in complexity incrementally as you push through the course.

The method for beginning with simply body parts, then moving to the human head, then to the torso, then adding it all together create a solid base of knowledge in completing full realism drawings, and it is very effective at teaching you modelling. instead of attempting to show you everything at once, it builds the skills you need to complete full drawings by creating building blocks that serve as a foundation. Once that foundation is in place you will be able to draw almost anything from life. Highly recommend if you do not have the means to enter art school or if you just want to learn the best methods for realism.

Das Buch ist sehr gut gegliedert. Hatte am Anfang Schwierigkeiten, weil es auf englisch geschrieben wurde. Es macht Spaß sich ein zu lesen.
