Review: "Life drawing and painting has been a vital part of artists' training and practice for hundreds of years. This book looks at the tradition in New Zealand: its arrival with European explorers, its use by settler artists, its development from the late nineteenth century as local art schools were established, and its history to the present day. Also explored are the ever-changing social attitudes towards the nude, and the experience of being a life model." "FigureWork makes a splendid introduction to the work of a wide range of New Zealand artists. A useful book for practising artists and art students, it will also be enjoyed by the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
