中文简介：

几个世纪以来，解剖学一直是艺术培训的基本组成部分，因为达芬奇和米开朗基罗等艺术家寻求巧妙地描绘人体形态。在欧洲，解剖学家、艺术家和版画家在早期地图集（如Andreas Vesalius1543年的《人体的构造》）中惊人地实现了捕捉人体复杂结构的插图，受到医学工作者和艺术家的欢迎。

本书研究了解剖学从16世纪到21世纪的创新展示方式，包括展示身体的动画尸体、解剖的古董雕塑、壮观的真人大小的印刷品、精致的纸片和3-D立体照片。这些图片主要来自盖蒂研究所的大量藏品，超过150幅引人注目的图片，从木刻到霓虹灯，揭示了皮肤下人体的不可思议之美。

英文简介：

For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body—spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543—found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists.

Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin.
