商品簡介
Art historians compile information about the men and women who have contributed their faces and bodies to western art from the Renaissance to the present. Part of their goal is to fill in a missing part of art history, but another part is to correct the emphasis on women models and their lascivious liaisons with the artists who portrayed them. Introductory essays consider the model in 19th century Anglo-American and French literature, changing tastes in ethnicity, models as artists, the academy and professional models in 19th Britain, and representations of age and posthumous imagery. Paintings and photographs are reproduced in black and white. Works and artists are indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
