Not on viewLabel TextThis image offers a glimpse into an early twentieth-century figure-drawing class, conducted by Thomas Anshutz, an acclaimed artist and teacher of the era. On stage, a skeleton stands next to a partially clothed model as Anshutz addresses a full classroom. Pairing the skeletal scaffolding with the flesh and muscle of a living man allows artists to see and think about how these interconnected systems work together.
