The purpose of the Inspiring Figurative for Artists series is to provide study materials for artists who are trying to master the human form. This book is about the male Figuratives.

The male Figurative is simpler in form as well as function compared to the female form, yet is not as widely represented as the female form in modern art. This has not always been the state of artistic affairs.

In ancient times the male form was depicted in sculpture, in relief and in some forms of painting. The ancient Greek and Roman artists did their art unashamedly, presenting the male form in all its splendor.

During Renaissance times, the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Donatello and Masaccio the male form still held dominance. From the 17th century the female form began to appear more often in art, toppling the male dominance. In the modern day there is perhaps fifty to a hundred times more female Figuratives in the public domain than male Figuratives. Among the male Figuratives only a small fraction are in fact artistic in nature – which means that perhaps less than 1 percent of Figuratives are artistic representations of the male form.
Just as in Female representation, Male Figuratives tend to come in three broad categories: the Artistic, the Erotic and the Pornographic. We shall delve into the artistic, but we shall not explore the pornographic. When it comes to the male Figurative it is hard to define the middle ground … the erotic …, so I beg your indulgence.

Inspiring Figuratives for Artists is a series of books to help you with your Figurative artistic praxis. If you master the Figurative … it is said you can master art. In each Figurative in this book look beyond the obvious and search for vanishing points, as well as form and function.

This book is the fourth in the Inspiring Figuratives for Artists series brought to you by Atelier Press.
