This book is meant for those people or artists, Sculptors, Painters, or Students studying human anatomy or Fine Art. As a Sculptor, Netra Khattri has made this book with the language of Art (Sculpture), how muscles attach to the human skeleton, and from where the muscle originates and inserts with muscle function.

For example, the reader can look at the skeleton to see how the bones and muscles are constructed in this process of evolution and metamorphosis. Nevertheless, there are more interesting facts in human anatomy than here. The difference between this book shows the Ecorche sculpting process is finished anatomical references rather than, other anatomy book shows drawings of muscles attach with bone and structures of human anatomy.

Art Nouveau was a world-wide artistic fashion that deeply affected the whole spectrum of the arts in the last decade of the nineteenth century and the early years of this century. It sought to finalise the break with the academicism of traditional art, to raise the status of design and to place art within the realm of daily life. In doing so it provided many of the prototypes for the art of an industrial society, and it was the springboard for some of the most important artistic movements in the twentieth century, such as Expressionism, Futurism and the International Style in architecture. -- from dust jacket.
