George Bridgeman




When I was in school I took a life drawing class. My teacher would bring in works from various artists he knew about and one of them I remember having a really unique clean style was the works of Canadian/American artist George Brigeman.



Bridgeman Was born in 1865 and lived until 1943. He was known for basing his life drawings off of cubes rather than spheres like most other artist who drew the human form at the time. This in my opinion makes the figures stand out and appear more like drawings that you would see in comic books or graphic novels who have character. Bridgeman was a world acclaimed art teacher who taught for 45 years and also wrote some 6 books on figure drawing and human anatomy.
