The Training of the Memory in Art, and the Education of the Artist (1914)

""The Training of the Memory in Art, and the Education of the Artist"" is a book written by Lecoq de Boisbaudran and published in 1914. The book explores the importance of memory training in the development of artistic skills and the education of artists. De Boisbaudran argues that the ability to remember and accurately reproduce visual images is essential for artists, and he provides exercises and techniques for improving memory and observation skills. The book also delves into broader themes of art education, including the role of the teacher, the importance of drawing from life, and the relationship between art and nature. With its practical advice and philosophical musings, ""The Training of the Memory in Art, and the Education of the Artist"" remains a valuable resource for artists and art educators today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
