Reina is also a cartoonist, whose work has appeared in the New Yorker magazine as well as with King Features Syndicate. He has recently published a book, Doug Reina, Under the Covers, (available on Amazon) which features cartoons and sketches pulled from his sketchbooks over the last 25 years.

Anatomy for Artists Lectures with Frank Porcu

Anatomy for Artists Lectures with Frank Porcu

Anatomy for Artists Lecture with Frank Porcu
November 21, 2019 • 7 – 9 pm
$15 M/$20 NM 

Think learning about human anatomy is boring?
You haven’t seen leading Artistic Anatomist Frank Porcu demonstrate!

Artistic anatomist, Frank Porcu, will conduct two dynamic lecture/demonstrations through large drawings produced before your eyes with the use of unique props. Designed to enlighten the novice as well as the professional artist, Mr. Porcu will focus on overall concepts as well as some specifics of anatomy in each limb and the head.

The historical ideologies and philosophies as well as society’s aesthetics will also be discussed. 

Attendees will leave this demo/lecture with a more thorough knowledge of human anatomy across various disciplines.

Bring a sketchbook and questions! We promise you’ll understand human anatomy in an entirely new way!

(November 21 lecture/demo will be different than the October 17.)

To see Frank Porcu in action, watch this video. 

Frank L. Porcu is a sculptor, anatomist, and painter who earned a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute and an M.F.A. from the New York Academy of Art. Mr. Porcu has devoted the last seventeen years to the study of the human form, based on the truth of human and quadrupedal dissection.

His research in the theories of “anatomical form-making” and its historical usages has provided him with a platform to teach to artists and physicians a “lost philosophy” dealing with the scientific construction of form. He has currently truncated his teaching schedule to take on studio practice for public and private sculpture commissions.

A monument to the lineage of education is a fourteen-foot statue he has designed for West Texas A&M University; the statue was erected in 2012. The anatomy text he is authoring is in manuscript form, and is being updated weekly due to the great lessons and explanations demanded of him by his ambitious students.

Mr. Porcu teaches anatomy, drawing, and sculpture at the Art Students League of New York, where he has recently brought back the appropriate study of “the Antique,” with the design and erection of the new second floor Antique Cast Wall. He also lectures on stereoscopic anatomy at Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons.
