Waldstein, Charles, Sir, 1856-1927 · 1914 · Cambridge [Eng.] University Press · 7 pictures

Greek sculpture and modern art is a 1914 Cambridge University Press book of two lectures by Sir Charles Waldstein, delivered to students of the Royal Academy in London. The plates show classical Greek marble statues of nude male athletes and a head, photographed full length, from three-quarter back, and in close-up against black backgrounds, giving a designer clear models of idealised anatomy, contrapposto stance and classical curled hair.
