A Sculptor's Manual focuses on the methods involved in sculpture. The manual first outlines drawing as a medium by which artistic creativity can evolve. The text notes that mastery of this talent can enable artists to become more analytical in their appreciation of their fellow beings, as well as bring out the inventive faculties in them in many ways. The book also discusses direct carving and the use of cartoons and automatic tools in carving. The work done by the author at the Henry Florence Memorial Hall is noted. The varieties of stones that can be used as medium in carving are explained. The text also looks at the methods in moving heavy weights, traditional carving of relief, and wood carving. Modeling as a way to create fine pieces of sculpture is underscored. The book also discusses the methods involved in building a large bronze memorial and an enormous aluminum stag. Alternative methods of casting a large memorial are also elaborated. The text also puts emphasis on fiberglass sculpture, including materials and methods to be employed. The manual is a good reference for beginner and master sculptors.

From the PREFACE. The brief Manual, on a matter of national importance, which I now venture to submit to public criticism, is simply the completion of an idea entertained by me for nearly a quarter of a century. From the time, indeed, that I first taught anatomy, or rather I ought to say, studied anatomical "shapes, their import or signification, their relations to each other, and their artistic, philosophic, and utilitarian aspects, I felt convinced, instinctively as it were, that the true relation of anatomy to art, meaning Fine Art, had been misrepresented and misunderstood. But it was not until I had visited the galleries of the Louvre, and looked attentively at the Elgin Marbles, that I was in a position to support this view with an appeal to demonstration. The Manual now completed is simply an attempt to demonstrate the true relations of anatomy to art; to show the influence which the interior of man exercises over the exterior; and, therefore, in so far is simply a school-book. But has school-books should, if possible, be progressive, I have ventured to add to the elementary matter contained in Part I. a second and a third section, in which will be found a sketch of the nature of form as the grand element of beauty; a theory of the beautiful; and an analysis of the principles which must ever form the basis of a correct taste. I have ventured to recommend a perusal of these sections to amateurs; by whom I merely mean the general public. The remark has been often made that, in respect of works of art, there are two parties to be considered, namely, the artist and his patrons. Should the latter happen to be low in taste, of utilitarian tendencies, purely and simply; mechanical, plodding, fond of substituting a model conventionalism for nature, the lot of the artist must ever be an unhappy one. To secure fair play for him, his patrons also ought to be lovers of true art, or be at least made sensible that there exist amongst them persons who are so. In brief, it is not the artist alone who requires instruction, -it is the public. Above all, it ought to be clearly shown to them that Posterity-the living embodiment of Time's progress and work on earth-will pass a stern, impartial, and irrevocable judgment on those nations despising literature, science, and art, whom they will class with barbarians, however powerful they may have been politically, however wealthy and luxurious. The future historian will, it is to be presumed, criticise the present times as we do the Coptic, Greek, and Roman eras of civilization. Let us hope that, in so doing, some future Gibbon may not discover "that Britain was a land from which a love of nature and of truth had been expelled, -a fact proved by the absence of all artistic monuments of a lofty and ennobling character." But further than this "hint to patrons," the work has no further pretensions than what its title-page indicates....

Excerpt from A Manual of Artistic Anatomy: For the Use of Sculptors, Painters, and Amateurs The brief Manual, on a matter of national im portance, which I now venture to submit to public criticism, is simply the completion of an idea. Entertained by me for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. From the time, indeed, that I first taught anatomy, or rather I ought to say, studied ana tomical 'shapes, their import or signification, their relations to each other, and their artistic, philo sophic, and utilitarian aspects, I felt convinced, instinctively as it were, that the true relation of anatomy to art, meaning Fine Art, had been mis represented and misunderstood. But it was not until I had visited the galleries of the Louvre, and looked attentively at the Elgin Marbles, that I was in a position to support this view with an appeal to demonstration.

Every material has an active presence and every material is susceptible to change. The task of the sculptor is to understand the natural properties of a chosen material, to know in the process of creation how best to work with, or against, its characteristics. In this generously illustrated studio manual, sculptor Oliver Andrews takes a new approach to sculpture, focusing on how the innate assertiveness of materials affects the complex act of making a sculpture.
