Modern pictorial perspective - T. Heaton Cooper

This small and focused guide to understanding and analyzing perspective in drawing was written by a long-time instructor at the Cleveland School of Art. Every left-hand page features a full-page graphic representation of the written descriptions on the opposite page, providing an improved understanding of the concepts via visual examples. Discussions and directions on foreshortening and shadows in relation to perspective complement the illustrations.

In the early 20th century, Thomas Heaton Cooper emigrated from Great Britain, where his brother Alfred (and later his nephew William) ranked among the nation's most highly regarded watercolor landscape artists. Heaton taught at the Cleveland School of Art, where he drew upon his experience in landscape painting to impart his sophisticated understanding of perspective.
