Review
“The Figure, has the look of a high-end coffee table decoration, but don’t judge this book just by its Martha Mayer Erlebacher cover. Inside, you will find it crammed not only with striking images but also with essays by critics, artists, and other thinkers that air out thematically related historical, philosophical, theoretical, and technical issues. The Figure is an ambitious and overdue tome that fills a void…” –Huffington Post
“The Figure is a wide-ranging survey of contemporary art depicting the human body in all its splendor.” –Wall Street Journal
“The Figure: Painting Drawing and Sculpture, has the look of a high-end coffee table decoration, but don’t judge this book just by its Martha Mayer Erlebacher cover. Inside, you will find it crammed not only with striking images but also with essays by critics, artists, and other thinkers that air out thematically related historical, philosophical, theoretical, and technical issues. The Figure is an ambitious and overdue tome that fills a void: if you haven’t noticed, contemporary representation is coming on strong. The figure is the greatest subject of all — it will live as long as we do — and this stimulating book reminds us... If there ever was an art book that needed to become a major exhibition — or a maybe a salon — The Figure is it.” –Hyperallergic

A great resource for anyone interested in figurative art
By Bob Clyatt
A great resource for anyone interested in figurative art, especially for those creating it. Much of it reads like art history, yet for once it is art history written by people who actually paint and sculpt -- this gives it real authority in my view. Dense reading -- you often have to unpack phrase-by-phrase but you are always rewarded for it, unlike much of the dense but largely meaningless stuff inflicted on us in some of the art magazines or academic journals. Everyone here is connected to the New York Academy of Art, so the book occasionally acts a little bit like a 'day on campus' with detailed how-to technique bits sprinkled in among the essays. Mostly I appreciated reading thoughtful professors discussing the subtle alchemy through which figurative art transforms from stale, old academic into vibrant contemporary art form. This is one I expect to read and re-read for years.

…' contains a large number of good reproductions of contemporary painting
By stevenc
'The Figure:…' contains a large number of good reproductions of contemporary painting, drawing and sculpture which was pretty much what I had hoped for. There is also a number of what I expect will be interesting essays, some by artists with whom I am familiar and consider to be of high quality. (I haven't had time to read much of the book yet.) Of course the book is narrow in its focus, as expected, and might possibly have included figurative artists that I would have found to be more interesting, but on the whole the book is well worth the modest price. I would recommend the book to anyone looking for interesting reproductions and writing by artists and critics.

The art presented in the book is a wonderful representation of the many streams of practice and the ...
By Thomas Wharton
It's impossible to overstate the value of this book. It's focus is on the reemergence of figurative art and the different forms and directions it is taking. As such, it's something of a snapshot of what's going on now and the directions in which figurative art may be headed. The point of departure for the book is the New York Academy of Art, a distinctive institution which arose in recognition of the need for developing traditional representational painting and sculpture skills... something that had fallen into neglect in previous decades as academia, reflecting trends in the larger art world, focused on skills needed to compete in the worlds of abstract, conceptual, installation, and new media art (to name just a few). The institution had heavy-hitter support from the art world including some surprises, most notably Andy Warhol. As the decades have passed, the school has evolved into an institution that not only addresses the skill/craft areas of art making, but also issues of content. This is something that separates it from most of the academic atelier schools which have sprung up all over the country and around the world.
The essays are broken into three large sections, one centering on the past heritage, one on the present practice, and one addressing the possible future. The essays are from an assortment of teachers at the school, practicing artists (graduates), and art critics, so the points of view are wide and the discussions deep. Some issues of technique and approach are touched on as are relevant to the author.
This is a serious book and some of the writing is dense and very thought provoking... something that separates it from much of the fluff and bravado that surrounds writing about figurative art today. It will be an important read for any artist, collector, or general reader interested in the vitality and challenges faced by figurative painters today.
The art presented in the book is a wonderful representation of the many streams of practice and the work is beautifully reproduced and generous in size, making it a visual treat as well...
Highly Recommended.
