Anatomy—the study of the human skeleton and muscles—forms an indispensable foundation for human figure art. Only by understanding anatomy can we truly observe the structure of the human body, its varying proportions and movements, and thus the diverse expressions of its emotional world. It enables us not only to depict static objects but also to capture movements that are difficult for the eye to perceive, as well as the subtle changes in facial expressions. Without the guidance of anatomy, we would be unable to portray the human body, facial expressions, or the dramatic variations of movement. —Jeno Borsay
