For thirty years- Modeling the Figure in Clay has been an indispensable anatomical resource for people who think- see- and understand form best in the round: sculptors. In the thirtieth anniversary edition of this classic work- master sculptor Bruno Lucchesi invites you on a guided tour of the human form. Follow him as he creates a figure in clay--literally from the inside out--starting with the skeleton- laying on the muscles to show male and female anatomy- and finishing with a complete figure sculpture with every detail of face and hair carefully modeled. BRUNO LUCCHESIs work has been added to the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art- the Brooklyn Museum- and the Dallas Museum- among many others. Lucchesi has received awards from the National Academy- the National Arts Club- and the Architectural League. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1962-1963- he won a Gold Medal award from the National Academy of Design in 1990- and was awarded the Polich Tallix Foundry Prize from the National Sculpture Society in 2009....
