ABSTRACT
Read this from his chapter, “The Analysis of Action. ”. He speaks of gesture, a subject dear to my heart, and the raison d ’ ê tre for the drawing classes I conduct.
All real actions have some meaning to us but most do not arouse in us emotional responses. We observe innumerable actions daily; we accept them; forget them. When, however, a real action has special meaning and arouses us emotionally we refer to it as a gesture.
