Mechanism of Human Facial Expression
G. -B. Duchenne de Boulogne ; R. Andrew Cuthbertson (Oversetter)
In Mécanisme de la physionomie humaine, the great nineteenth-century French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne combined his
intimate knowledge of facial anatomy with his skill in photography and expertise in using electricity to stimulate individual facial muscles to produce a fascinating interpretation of the ways in which
the human face portrays emotions. Les mer

In Mécanisme de la physionomie humaine, the great nineteenth-century French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne combined his
intimate knowledge of facial anatomy with his skill in photography and expertise in using electricity to stimulate individual
facial muscles to produce a fascinating interpretation of the ways in which the human face portrays emotions. This book was
pivotal in the development of psychology and physiology as it marked the first time that photography had been used to illustrate,
and therefore 'prove', a series of experiments. In this volume, Andrew Cuthbertson has provided an English translation of
Duchenne, complete with a reproduction of the marvellous Album of photographs. The four commentary chapters by modern experts
describe the relevance of Duchenne's findings to the fields of experimental psychology, plastic surgery, neurology and physiology.
This book will therefore be valued by all those who deal with facial expression, including psychologists, physicians and those
involved in the fine arts and photography.

«...elegant and highly detailed work on the anatomy of facial expression..." Dr. Carroll E. Izard, Unidel Professor»
«This book is a must for students of human facial expression." Leonard R. Rubin, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery»
«I would recommend this book most highly for its illustrations, especially to those interested in the interface of science and art, early photography, or the use of images in medicine." Maria Trumpler, Isis»
