From dustjacket: Mr. Lutz offers here a system of memory drawing that may be followed successfully by the individual in self-study as well as have its lessons adapted for the classroom. The primary purpose of this book, says the author, is to teach memory drawing and to help the art student to work from imagination. Mr. Lutz states that even though it is the general custom for the artist to work from models he should have some skill in drawing imaginative pictures without the necessity of looking for actual scenes for backgrounds to his pictures. A diversity of subjects is treated and the way to draw them from memory explained in clear and simple terms. Among these subjects are Landscapes and Views, the Draped Female Figure, Faces and the Human Figure. There is a division devoted to Ornamental forms and motifs and one to the study of various kinds of solids which will be of special interest to workers in arts and crafts. Several chapters have been given to drawing figures from "imagination" by which the author means the memory of knowledge gained by the analytical study of the human form by the methods advanced in the book. The particulars are presented in clear terms and illustrated by diagrams. In these diagrams the figure has been reduced to the simplest anatomical planes, and interpreted in forms that make elementary structures for the draftsman when he wishes to block-out a figure. This section of the book forms a notable contribution to the field of art education where it applies especially to the drawing of the human form.

A step‑by‑step guide that simplifies construction and perspective, making the often challenging early stages of drawing enjoyable for young artists and useful for experienced practitioners alike.
