Extremely excellent, multi-angled- pose file 6..........2006-06-21

...one of my favorites in the series, right along with pose files 8 and even 5...

This is tied with Pose File 8 for being my absolute favorite in the series. This series has 9 volumes, last time I checked, and is filled with fantastic photo reference! Each volume features beautiful female models in various poses seen from many different angles. The photos are in black & white, and all models are asian & female, with the exception of this volume, which actually includes males as well. The male models wear speedo-type bathing suits; the females are completely nude. This is one of the *BEST* volumes in the series regarding actual photo quality- extremely high production value(!)- whereas some other volumes were a bit grainy looking & even poorly cropped at times. Easily one of my favorite-ever photo references(!). Even though these poses aren't the most interesting in the series, the inclusion of males here makes this one of the best. Pose selection aside, we still get all the essential reference for drawing figures from *every* conceivable angle: standing, squatting, kneeling, sitting, reclining, and even on all 4's. And some of the poses *are* pretty creative(!).

At 8-1/4" x 11-5/8", and about 160 pages, it's one of the best & most convenient-sized paperback references I've seen. Amazingly, at this time, this series is hard to find & keep in print. If you're able to get a copy, and at a decent price, it's *easily* worth getting- exceedingly great with learning to draw figures from memory. My highest recommendation!

weakest link.......2000-03-11

Of the series of Pose Files this volume is the weakest. That is unless the artist is looking for static and mime poses with the series' least physically interesting models. This is the only pose file in the first nine volumes to include male models in largely disappointing para-martial poses. A model from Pose File 4 figures in several sitting poses using a white box. These constitute the most useful elements of the volume. Pose Files 2 & 3 offer more artistically interesting static poses.

A welcome addition to my library.......1999-12-25

Pose File 6 is one of the jewels of my art reference collection. Thumbing through it, I get an idea for a new drawing on each page! The male model's poses are especially useful. Anyone with an interest in action illustration would do well to purchase this book.

Book Description

Over 150 full page, high quality figure pose photographs carefully lighted for use as drawing and painting reference.

Designed for students interested not merely in drawing figures accurately, but in ideal figures as they are described in clear lighting. After all, the translation of three-dimensional form onto a two-dimensional page or canvas is purely the representation of light as it streams across form. Careful attention to the lighting of a subject is therefore at the very purpose of any artist's depiction of graphic and atmospheric art.

First chapter describes proportions in standing poses, illuminated in three distinct manners: ambient, form (single-source), and rim light. Then standing, leaning, seated, kneeling, and reclining—foreshortened poses. Particular attention is given to the pattern of light and shadow in each pose. It is easy to observe the crest-lights and highlights, indicating the joining of two or more planes.

The last chapters of this book are dedicated to head, expressions and hands. Here again, our model conforms to the conventional (and current) ideal arrangement of features.

A good figure draftsman is not a copyist. He/she instead designs the model and his/her pose. This book inspires students to contemplate their subject before plunging into a drawing or painting. Is she serene or nervous? Does he appear patrician or a dockworker? The student is encouraged to push expression...by all means, characterize!

In Hanna Pawlowska, we have an elegant, ideal female model posed at times barefoot, or in heels. These images are intended as an opportunity to cultivate the ideal in the student's interpretation of the human form. Paying particular attention to the attitude she exudes, from fingers to toes. Art and acting have much in common.

The Femle Nude I: A Pose Book For Artists is an ideal reference book for professional artists, illustrators, comic book artists, students, colleges and universities, and for all those who appreciate the elegance, rhythm and beauty of the human form.

Figure artist will like this........2007-01-20

This is a good book, not great but good . I like to draw from a pose book like this and I love the large black and white photos.
The book is all one model who is perfect on just about all levels and the photographs are top notch, but the pose's are a little cheese cakey and in some shots she has on high heels.
The model is placed on a solid black background and I think it push's the figure out in all parts but the hair.
I do think this is worth buying but I don't think it's worth the $45.00 thats on the book.
If I can not draw from life then drawing from a book like this can be a big help.
I hope they come out with more, but for less money.

A bit wierd, but still useful.......2006-10-23

As a costume designer it is often difficult to find pose books that have "normal" poses that are not a photo of a body somehow artistically contorted into a pretzel or unrecognizeably foreshortened. This book has some very useful references for me and for that reason I like it. I do have to say, however, some of the poses seem right out of a 1950s pinup magazine--and the stripper shoes and stripper pole shots are a little over the top. Still useful.

Say "cheese" cake.......2006-01-04

I ordered this book because of the glowing reviews. Even the review that was negative sited "faults" that I view as pluses. I returned this book as soon as it arrived because I found the poses to be cliched cheese cake for the most part.

YOU MUST PURCHASE THIS BOOK.......2005-09-21

This book is essential for all artists. each shot is posed and designed so beautifully, that it reaches the level of perfection. your drawings will tremendiously improve if you study from THE FEMALE NUDE I. it's impossible to flip through the book, without getting an intense desire to draw. and then you sit in awe, from the fact that a book can have such an impact on you. YOU MUST PURCHASE THIS BOOK!!!!!

A MUST MUST ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE... and here's why.......2005-09-13

If you really want to learn to draw... buy this book. Don't hesitate. This is the best pose book I have ever seen! Carefully designed by an artist for artists. Each pose is a full page. It's in black and white, so you can really work out your values / tones without getting distracted by color. The model is perfection itself, not a stick figure but curvy, streamlined with amazing muscle tone. Loads of varied poses and so well arranged. She poses barefoot and in heels. In heels she strikes a totally different attitude, you don't see this in other books. No dull expressionless faces, she's alive from head to toe. Having a great model is half way to a great drawing.
I drew all summer from this book and made rapid progress. It is so easy to read what her skeletal structure and muscles are doing. The poses are rhythmical and lyrical, a pleasure to draw. I even did a large oil painting using page 68. You can easily use color since the highlights and crestlights are so well described in the poses and color is secondary to values.
I can't wait for the male pose book to come out.
More books please!!!!

excellent resource.......1999-06-17

a wide variety of poses, many from several different angles, presented in a clear, concise fashion. THe only real drawback about the book is a chapter of "montage" style photos that look nifty, but detract from the book's general purpose.

Book Description

Selecting the correct frame for a particular piece of art is a matter of great importance. The right frame can enhance and support the values of any artwork, while the wrong frame can draw attention away from it. This unique book shows you how to make this important decision. Today, there are more choices and styles of frames available than ever before--and far fewer set-in-stone rules of right and wrong.
Framers today no longer focus merely on the Old Masters; instead, they see a multiplicity of artwork enter their shops. From the standard terrain of limited-edition prints and original oils, they have ventured into the new territory of framing precious memorabilia: wedding invitations or babies' booties that commemorate a special occasion; wine labels or baseball cards that show off a collector's interest.
Custom shadow-box framing has opened an even wider vista: sports memorabilia, antiques, Christmas ornaments--anything and everything can be set off to its best advantage in a well-chosen and well-made frame.
Lavishly illustrated with more than forty full-color photographs, THE RIGHT FRAME takes you step by step through the process of choosing a frame, describing its components, then explaining the best ways to frame any artwork--it even lists the all-important "Ten Commandments for the Proper Framing of Pictures."
This is a book for art lovers, professional framers, artists, gallery owners, decorators, collectors of all kinds, and anyone who wants to find the right frame for any work of art.

Super Reader.......2007-08-30

This is the third book in the Riftworld series.
It involves a conflict on the world of Argonia, where some of the earth people are, and conflict in the office back home, as Harry and the others, being on another planet can't really run it.

A reporter is coming close to working out what is going on.

It all gets a bit crazy when it is determined that all the weird stuff happening might be a product of one of the character's minds, and it is set up for a final world spanning crazy conflict, with our intrepid protagonists the only one that can do something about the Giants and everything else.

The Riftworld continues with another exciting story........1998-12-26

Had been endlessly searching for a follow-up to part two (Villains) for over two years before sporting this on the import shelves in the local Forbidden Planet store. All I can say is "wow".

The first half of the book deals with Harry's formation of a superhero team on the 'utopian' world of Argonia when the bad-guys (called Deviants) start trying to topple the regime. This alternates with what's happening back on Earth. With Harry, Peg and John missing presumed dead, the arrogant Marty Burke has took over the Fantasy Factory, making life hell for the talent there. Plus, hard-nosed reporter Leslie-Ann is starting to pick threads at the giant's cover-story.

The second part of the story hits you slap-bang with the realisation that all the **** that's happening may be a product of John's unconscious mind, warping reality. The Deviant leaders turn out to be Fantasy Factory villains upon which Peg realises that their situation is following the tried and trusted story-threads of a comic-book plot.

Upon defeating the Deviants, Peg and John 'rift' back to Earth to join Harry in defeating whatever nefarious plan the giant's are cooking up. However the rift becomes unstable and starts forming pocket-universes with physical laws far different to our own... universes which intersect ours with devastating consequences as all technology starts (literally) blowing up in our faces.

To add to the chaos, two Deviants have escaped Argonia and have their own plans for Earth, to breed a master race of telepaths. And we find out Robert and the rest of the giants' masterplan... to ignite World War 3 and decimate the lessers (us) in nuclear fire so they can take control of what's left.

Many different people with many different plans for the planet and the only people who can save us are Harry, Peg and John having brought back a few superior Argonian weapons and battle-armour. The end is a real cliffhanger as Robert's plan does it's deadly work sooner than anticipated. All the nuclear missiles have been launched and the first humans have succumbed to megadeath.

Can the world be saved and the Deviants & giants thwarted. I guess we'll just have to wait for the next book. Only this time, I hope Stan and Bill write it and get it published sooner rather than later. Odyssey was dated 1996, so with any luck it should be soon.

One hell of a sci-fi.......1998-07-18

This book is really something, it got me reading so much that I even had to put my food aside and at the end what does stan lee do?He leaves me hanging, I've been combing bookstores and surfing the net to see if I can find the continuation but up till now I've not yet seen it I hope it will be written soon because it will really be a great sell and story.Why I like this book? Because it's got everything you need to make a book really interesting and it really got me hooked. Stan you gotta do something because I reeeally need to know the fate of the Earth in your book.

Good book...no ending????.......1998-02-21

I liked this book and I think you would too if you like "superhero" type books. The problem is...they still haven't writen a sequel (as of Feb 98) and this one didn't really have an ending. It left you hanging. I look forward to the sequel if it's ever published.

The epitome of crass American obliviousness.......2004-04-24

Suzy Gershman has been going to France for years, several times a year and now lives part time in Paris. If you know anything about French culture, you'll be mightily embarrassed for her. If I met her in the street, I'd kick her in the shin for giving the rest of us such a bad name. Read this and DO THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING SHE SAYS.

I give this one star because the part about getting the deep discount at Printemps and Galleries de Lafayette is useful (though obvious if you read the signs in the store), and the advice about shopping for perfumes was ok, too.

Has she really ventured from her hotel?.......1999-03-22

I spend several months each year in Paris. A wonderful city that is beautiful, safe and above all...French. Something which Suzy seems unable to comprehend.

She seems to know little of the city. Street names are mispelled. Suggestions for lunch are directed to overpriced mediocre tourist traps. Stores are noted at addresses that are years out of date. She suggests getting your hair done at the head office of L'Oreal. Suzy???? This is an office building without a salon in sight. Do you take your car for service to the head office of General Motors? She sends to you to a well known Parisian leather shop that has not been at the address offered for years. She tells you to arrive a couple of hours before opening at the St. Ouen Market. She even offers a cute way of pronouncing the name. Thanks so much Suzy. However, arrive a couple of hours early at the market and all you'll get is nasty remarks from vendors who are setting up and trying to enjoy their first cafe of the day.

She offers all the standard silly warnings about subways, pickpockets, "rowdy boys" and dangerous French traffic. The subways are clean, always populated, remarkably convenient and I suppose there are a few pickpockets lurking somewhere; but this is the method of transportation in Paris and I have never encountered one bad incident. I don't know what Suzy means by "rowdy boy". I have never seen one.....nor heard of problems with them. I wonder if Suzy gets out much? Regarding traffic, it's like any big city and appropriate precautions are needed. Things like looking both ways when crossing the street are probably in order. Suzy, I suppose you live in some protected suburb of middle America and are unused to seeing more than a few cars at a time.

Suzy has problems with ATMs and seems to think that the purchase of your Carte Orange is a difficult task that can only be accomplished at one ot two subway stations. As usual, Suzy's problems are remarkably unique.

And most offensive is Suzy's obvious lack of knowledge regarding French manners and society. If you don't like differences Suzy, stay at home and go the mall where you can feel very comfortable at your Wal-Mart.

Suzy says she spends hours relaxing on her bed and in her tub at the Hotel de Crillon. Suzy might I suggest that you spend less time in the tub and a little more time researching your book.

Suzy and Frommer's should be embarassed that they actually published this book. Shame to all involved.

It's ALL in the details!.......2007-01-19

I've been traveling to Paris for 35 years (lived there for one) and so, know the city fairly well.... A friend lent me this book, and I tried to use it during the 3 weeks I spent in Sept-Oct of last year (2006), and was very disappointed. I mapped out the locations of several of the shops Suzy raves about, and arrived, only to find that the store was no longer (was it ever?) at the address she gave. If you know Paris, you know that there are tons of little, hard-to-find-rues, so it was VERY frustrating to spend so much time looking....and finding nothing. I would suggest she do her homework before she publishes another guide.

Great Read - Mediocre Advice.......2006-09-02

I purchased this book a little while before going to Paris and read it cover to cover, made maps, reference marks on my maps (basically went over board) believing I had invested money in a guide that was somewhat acurate. Sadly, I was mistaken - many of the stores mentioned were either no longer in business or were at another address. Most of the advice was off the cuff and not honest enough to be taken seriously by anyone. It is a fun read, don't get me wrong, but more as fiction than fact. Paris is a living, breathing animal of a city, always changing - i realize now that advice, not military precision shopping, is what I am looking for, and this is not it.

Same Paris I go to?.......2006-08-06

I have been traveling to Paris for 20 years and even lived there for a bit. Out of habit, I checked out Suzy's latest book. I wanted to know where Christian Louboutin's store was. she doesn't mention him. not a word. He is perhaps one of the hottest shoe designers going with his famous red soles. Suzy doesn't know or doesn't care.
Onto Pierre Hardy, a shoe designer in Palais Royale who is now making coveted purses with a wait list a mile long, again Suzy doesn't seem clued into who he is either.
The list goes on. Her hotel's are ridiculous. There are many wonderful hotels that are under $200.00 a night. Hotel Brighton on rue d' Rivoli right next to the much touted Hotel Mercier is one. Hotel Relais du Louvre next the still close Samaratine Deprtment store, which as been closed for a few years, but Suzy didn't mention even though her copyright date is post closing.
with information so available right now on the internet, save your money and buy a cafe or a glass of wine. Suzy, you are past your prime.

A good starting point..........2005-06-02

It seems as though Ms. Gershman either read the reviews here, or else the sorry state of the U.S. dollar against the euro was the catalyst for changes in the 10th edition, published in November 2004.

I used the book as one of my shopping resources during a short visit to Paris in May 2005. Of course, Ms. Gershman's picks still are on the pricey (and middle-aged) side, but she seems to have added more information on less expensive shopping options. And in case you don't share Ms. Gershman's taste in clothes, there are also picks from her son Aaron (who seems to be in his late teens or early twenties) and her assistant Jenny (apparently in her twenties or thirties).

She does list pricey hotels, but I don't think she should be considered a source on lodging since she lives part-time in Paris (and she even tells you how to rent her apartment, if you are so inclined).

I somewhat recommend this book because it gives a solid overview of shopping in the city and gives you a good base about the various neighborhoods. Plus, she's brutally honest ... since my shopping time was limited, her comment that Colette is overrated allowed me to skip that store and go somewhere where I can actually afford to buy things. She made me aware of a great place to buy handbags. And most importantly, she demystifies the process of getting détaxe ... which these days is crucial for Americans!

Normally, I'd have given this book four stars, but I've taken off another star because even though the book was published in November 2004, many things seem to be out of date (a champagne she recommended was nowhere to be found). I had a feeling there would be some problems with the listings, so when I was planning my trip (...)

Things I would have liked:
* Phone numbers for the stores, as well as opening hours.
* More detailed maps

If I were to do my shopping planning again, I'd probably spend an afternoon at Barnes & Noble with this book, reading the first couple of chapters (which include her top picks, as well as Aaron and Jenny's choices), then leafing through the rest of the book and taking down names of stores that interest me. Then, I would supplement my list with two sources that are more appropriate for a woman in her twenties or thirties: Time Out's store listings on their Web site, and the section on Paris shopping in the June 2005 issue of Lucky (which came out just in time for my trip, though I have to advise you that those listings are no cheaper than Ms. Gershman's picks!).

Certainly not the best guide for bargain-shoppers!.......2004-10-22

"Disappointing" is the best word to apply to this book. I found so little useable advice (and so much that was out-of-date), that I would try to resell my copy of this book via Amazon, if only I would not feel guilty for ripping off a fellow bargain-hunter!
Of the other (non bargain-shopping) advice in this book, I could find lots of places on my own (online on a search engine) to spend "top dollar" in Paris. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is truly "born to shop"! Phooey!

Book Description

Current thinking considers the Women's Cooperative Guild within the English Cooperative Movement to have been an independent and democratically run organization whose leaders built sisterhood across class lines and achieved many benefits for married working-class women. This study of the dynamics of gender within the movement between 1883 and 1921 arrives at different conclusions. Blaszak examines what freedoms of speech and activity women were permitted within the movement, as well as what resources they were given to accomplish their tasks. Ultimately, the parameters set by the men would determine the type of female leadership that emerged and whether it was able to realize its feminist and utopian agendas. Setting the organization's activities within the context of gender relations in the Cooperative Movement, Blaszak finds that the Guild was much more dependent and much less democratically directed than has usually been supposed. Restrictions established by male cooperators and enhanced by the realities of working-class life turned the Guild into a clique dominated by a few. Even the Guild's most revered leader, Margaret Llewelyn Davies, found it impossible to escape the gendered socio-economic circumstances in which she labored at her ministry to improve the lives of working-class women. Consequently, her leadership inadvertently assisted male cooperators in their attempts to limit possibilities for women.
