Book Description
Explores modernist aesthetics and cultural exchange in Britain, France and beyond Offers cutting-edge explorations of different aspects of artistic exchange between Britain and France, written by experts on both sides of the ChannelProvides original close readings of canonical and marginalised modernist textsOpens up new conceptual paradigms by probing multiple meanings related to 'crossing' and 'channelling' modernismOrganises chapters around three key themes of 'translating', 'fashioning', 'mediating' that intervene in the new modernist studiesDescribed by Katherine Mansfield in 1921 as 'a great cold sword between you and your dear love Adventure', in the early twentieth century the English Channel, or 'La Manche' in French, represented both a political and intellectual barrier between European avant-gardism and British restraint, and a bridge for cultural connection and aesthetic innovation. Organised around key terms 'Translating', 'Fashioning' and 'Mediating', this book presents ten original essays by scholars working on both sides of the Channel. Cross-Channel Modernisms historicises artistic exchangesa ina Britain, France and beyond and proposes a rich conceptual apparatus of 'crossings' and 'channels' through which we can read modernism and understand it as emerging from, and intervening in, an always-already shifting, multivalent,a internationala context.

Book Description
Although mastery of the representation of the human figure was central to art making as early as the fifteenth century in Europe, in the nineteenth-century French imagination the artist's model became identified as a distinct social type and cultural trope. This study of the artist's model in Paris between 1830 and 1870 incorporates three histories: a social history of professional models, a cultural history of models as social types, and an art history of representations of the model in elite and popular visual culture. It takes as its starting point the artist-model transaction: demonstrating that stereotypes of 'the model' that figured in the public imagination were framed both by gender and ethnicity, the book develops a nuanced typology of different types of models. Interwoven with the analysis of the constructed identities of models are accounts of the lives of particular models and the histories of the urban population groups from which they emerged. The Invention of the Model: Artists and Models in Paris, 1830-1870 is an adept exploration of a major issue in nineteenth-century art which will be of interest not only to art historians, but also to social and French cultural historians.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Artist's Repository, or Encyclopedia of the Fine Arts, Vol. 4: Dictionary and History of Art In London there have been for many years academical Institutions, in which living models have been selected for the study of the naked; originally in a more confined manner, at the academy in St. Martin's Lane; afterwards, when the Royal Incorporated Society of Artists of Great Britain obtained his Majesty's charter, they had a more considerable academy, and some public lectures: to these succeeded the Royal Academy. The principal studies in an academy usually are, Design, which is practised first from plaster models, casts from the best antiques, &c. which is generally the first school: and after the student has acquired a facility in treating these subjects, the living model is his next study. Anatomy, in its relation to art, is usually taught by some eminent surgeon. The other professors, such as of architecture, painting, sculpture, &c. are commonly members of the academy, and deliver lectures in their turns. The Royal Academy of London consists of forty academicians, painters, sculptors, or architects; twenty associates; and six associate engravers, who are incapable of offices, and of voting. The Officers are a president, council, consisting of eight members, four of whom go out by rotation, yearly; and who at each meeting receive two pounds five shillings, equally divided among them, or are fined for non-attendance. The whole body of the academicians meet once a year, to adjudge premiums, &c. and each receives five shillings for his attendance. There is also a secretary, who has apartment, in Somerset House, and a salary of 6ol. per annum; a keeper, who has apartments, and a salary of 10ol per annum, who superintends the academy; a treasurer, salary 6ol. per annum; librariin, salary 5ol.
