A Walters Art Museum curator takes a look at unusual aspects of Renaissance art: how it portrayed Africans in Europe and the arbitrariness of social status at the time...Yet what is most striking -- though not immediately apparent -- about Michelangelo's  figure is that the beautiful woman who looks out at us from the drawing is likely of African descent -- as is the child in Pontormo's portrait and the Venus of the sculpture. . - The Baltimore Sun Read More>

From Costume design and illustration
By Ethel Traphagen
There are some books which may help the ambitious student in the life
class to observe and impress on the mind fundamental facts which it is
believed most life-class teachers will agree in thinking extremely useful.
Among these are Dunlop's Anatomical Diagrams, Figure Drawing by
Hatton, Anatomy in Art by J. S. Hartley, Richter, Marshall or Duval, and
Drawing the Human Figure by J. H. Vanderpoel. If the student is studying without an instructor, Practical Drawing, by Lutz, will be found helpful.
ETHEL H. TRAPHAGEN. -
NEW YORK. 1918.
