Description

There's a fine line between the horrible and the sublime, and Joanna Ebenstein's Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human Anatomy walks it. These Cool-Lite blend merino, natural Tencel fibres and synthetic nylon and Lycra to create the super comfortable, stretchy boxers. They’ll also happily welcome your feedback so that we can help customize your experience at Anatomica and keep growing to exceed your expectations. One of the standout features of the 618 from Anatomica is the seam free outside leg (s), heavily inspired by vintage US Navy work pants, offering a clean silhouette. Somehow that focus and inaccessibility seems to go hand-in-hand with experienced staff, and products that are around season after season.

Anatomica provides an overview of several centuries’ worth of studies of every part of human anatomy by scholars, scientists, and artists from around the world, with examples of their work representing philosophical and (pre)scientific ideas of representation and the evolving assumptions regarding, for instance, pregnancy, vision, and musculature. A family-run business now in its third generation, It’s narrow and tall, with shoe boxes stacked way up to a double-height ceiling. I was impressed with the captions in this book, they were both quite informative while also being almost conversational in tone. In fact it has such a reputation - often driven by Pierre Fournier’s history in menswear - that first-time visitors can initially be disappointed.At times both beautiful and repulsive, illustrated anatomy continues to hold our interest today, and is frequently referenced in popular culture.

Anatomica brings together some of the most striking, fascinating and bizarre anatomical artworks from the 14th through to the 20th century, drawn from collections such as The Wellcome Collection and the University of Toronto's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Librar y, The New York Academy of Medicine historical collections, and the Duke University History of Medicine Collection, exploring the art of human anatomy in one beautiful volume.Liechtenstein, Macau, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Martinique, Mauritius, Mexico, Micronesia, Monaco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Oman, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Reunion, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam. Her books include Death: A Graveside Companion, The Anatomical Venus and The Morbid Anatomy Anthology (with Colin Dickey). With Corespun we wrap our superfine merino fiber around a nylon core to create a durable fabric that retains icebreaker’s signature softness, odour resistance and performance. There’s a fine line between the horrible and the sublime, and Joanna Ebenstein’s Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human Anatomy walks it.
