Dr. Paul Richer could be called the greatest artistic anatomist of all time. His book New Artistic Anatomy: Female Morphology, is happily now available in Allana M. Benham's English translation from the original French edition, written by Dr. Richer in 1920. This new edition presents Richer's brilliant and unique analyses of female form, illustrated with Richer's own line drawings and beautiful halftone drawings. Extensive information on the female form and the anatomical structures creating it, had been seriously lacking from the literature until Richer wrote this book. This definitive reference belongs in the library of every figurative artist. - Eliot Goldfinger Bravo! An extremely overdue and universally 'wished-for' endeavor. Allana M. Benham's new and enlightened translation is a welcome addition to the anatomical lexicon, a true gift for the rest of us! - Frank Porcu
