Plate 1,60. Charles Bargue drawing course. Male torso, three-cuarter view. (Torse d'homme, vu de troir quarts.)
The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course (Cours de dessing) is a famous and fabled publication of the late ninetheenth century. Divided
into three parts, it contains 197 loose-leaf lithographic plates of precise drawings after casts, master drawings, and male
models, all arranged in a somewhat progressive degreeof difficulty.
The course was designed to prepare beginning art students copying these plates to draw from nature, that is, from objects,
both natural and man-made, in the real world.
In the late 1860s, it was still generally assumed that the imitation of the nature was the principal goal of the artist, and
the most important subjet for the artist was the human body. The expression of the subject depited had not been replaced by
self-expression.
