Anatomy for the Artist


Jenő Barcsay - 1953
    Jenö Barcsay, a professor who taught applied anatomy at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts, offers a detailed portrayal of the body for the fine artist in 142 full-page plates. From the entire skeleton and the joints in and out of motion to all the muscles and even facial characteristics, every body part appears in close-up and from varying perspectives. Accompanying the images are brief discussions of male and female anatomical construction, explaining precisely the articulations and movement of the foot, the arm, the trunk, the spinal column, and the skull. In many cases, two sketches appear side by side: one just lightly traced in, and marked with letters to show how proportions and perspective were figured, and another fully finished drawing. Without the indispensable information contained on these illuminating pages, painters cannot observe with understanding all the attitudes, positions, and movements of which the body is capable—and produce a truly magnificent work of art. Features a new concealed spiral that keeps the book open as you work!

Clothing Construction


Evelyn A. Mansfield - 1953
    To this end it includes over five hundred photographs and over a hundred drawings, specially made to show construction procedures step by step as they were worked out in actual garments.[...]The first elements of dressmaking procedures are given in the early chapters, so that one who has never sewed before can learn to use a sewing machine, to select and check commercial patterns, and to cut out and assemble dresses. The first seven chapters, preliminary to those on construction processes, offer such instruction for the beginner, but like the others they also include material relating to advanced work so that the reader with sewing experience can find help for her problems too. It is believed that the inclusion of advanced as well as elementary work will give the beginner added incentive. For she should find her elementary work worth while if she sees it in terms of what she can expect to do later. The chapters on actual construction give procedures for each major type of collar, placket, sleeve, and so on. A detailed index, as well as the many cross references in the text, give the book maximum flexibility.

Down in the Holler: A Gallery of Ozark Folk Speech


Vance Randolph - 1953
    The University of Oklahoma Press is especially pleased to introduce such an invaluable and delightfully written book to a new generation of researchers and Americans entranced by the Ozarks and the folkways of the past.Until World War II the backwoodsmen living in the Ozark Mountains of southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, and eastern Oklahoma were the most deliberately "unprogressive" people in the United States. The descendants of pioneers from the southern Appalachians, they changed their way of life very little during the whole span of the nineteenth century and were able to preserve their customs and traditions in an age of industrialism.When the many attractions of the Ozarks were discovered by "outlanders," the tourists—and television—reached the hinterlands, and the old patterns of speech and life began to fade.In this perceptive book, Vance Randolph, who first visited the Ozarks country in 1899, and his collaborator, George P. Wilson, recapture the speech of the people who lived "down in the holler." Randolph, closely identified with the region for many years, hunted possums with its people and shared their table at the House of Lords (a "kind of tavern" in Joplin). Through the years his hobby became a profession, and he spent years recording the various aspects of Ozark folk speech.

The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel


C.H. Dodd - 1953
    Regarded as a seminal text in Johannine studies, it provides a comprehensive and authoritative exposition of the major elements and themes contained in this more original and fascinating of ancient documents. The author reconstructs the background and intellectual milieu out of which the Fourth Gospel may be supposed to have taken shape. He then defines as precisely as possible the leading concepts that may be said to have determined the structure and arrangement of the book as we have it. The result is a massive achievement, and no serious student of the New Testament can afford to ignore this study's findings. The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel represents the culmination of a lifetime's reflection on its subject by one of this century's most distinguished New Testament scholars, and will continue to stimulate and provoke generations of readers.
