Böcker av Susan Waller

This work covers selections from 61 primary source documents - artist's letters, journals, and memoirs; critics' reviews; and minutes and reports of artists' societies and schools - that illuminate the experience of women artists from the mid-18th to the mid-20th centuries in the USA and Europe.

Presents a study of the artist's model in Paris between 1830 and 1870. An exploration of a major issue in nineteenth-century art, this book features accounts of the lives of particular models and the histories of the urban population groups from which they emerged. It is useful for art historians, also for social and French cultural historians.
