Product Description

Review
For anyone interested in the early stirrings of 'modern art', or in the intoxicating myth of the bohemian, here is a fascinating history of the life class. The deliciously ambivalent social and moral status of the artist's model, and indeed the artist, is an idea that persists today. Rich in anecdotal detail and curious facts, this is an engrossing and illuminating read. Best of all, the plates have a come-hither quality that is due as much to the excellence of the reproduction as to the subject matter. Most are from private collections and archives, and include John Singer Sargent, Henry Scott Tuke, William Etty, Henry Tonks, plus lesser known artists. (Kirkus UK)

Synopsis
From being regarded as little more than a piece of apparatus to providing inspiration, the role of the artist''s model in the 19th and 20th centuries changed. The author examines the studio, the artistic training, and the cult of the model in this study.'
