Leading artist:, including Jenny Saville, Eric Fischl, Will Cotton, Jerome NVitkin, Hilary Harkness and Margaret Bowland, arc featured alongside established and emerging talents. Essays by distinguished crities, painters and sculptors including Donald Kuspit, Irving Sandier, Vincent Desiderio, Judy Fox, Julie Heffernan, Alexi Worth, David Ebony, Robert Taplin, Kurt Kauper and Nicola Verlato-provide diverse historical contexts for the volume's nearly 170 artworks. Centered on the Academy—where many of the featured artists are alumni, instructors or lecturers—this collection reflects our mission to instill the rigorous training of past generations within the lively dialogue of the present day. THE FIGURE's thought provoking essays consider the evolution and effects of techniques from classical cast drawing, perspective, and the camera obscure to the use of photography, Photoshop, and 3D modeling in figurative art today. How these manifest in master works by Michelangelo or Manet, and reflect changing cultural conditions from antiquity to cyberspace, is also explored. In their 'artist EFTA_R1_00892748 EFTA02092848
