Abstract
As to how much or how little knowledge of anatomy the art student should possess is a matter on which opinion is very much divided. Your youthful impressionist is apt to sneer at anatomy; as a rule, his contempt for the subject is revealed in the construction of the forms he represents. On the other hand, the more serious-minded and studious of the artistic fraternity, those who, by hard work and diligent study, are laying the foundations upon which a true impressionism can alone be based, have found and do find the study of anatomy a help in their work.
