Later that evening I had focusing on women is a combination of two things: the artist’s run by Jane Kallir, the grand daughter of Otto Kallir (the first a call from the Professor who barked at me, “Every time I see rebelliousness and the most exciting drawings of women done My paternal family emigrated from Hungary to Australia when great Schiele scholar) and her indomitable partner Hildegard you it costs me a lot of money! Why don’t you call me before in western art history. Schiele’s incomparable genius puts him at my father was twenty. He was born in Budapest, when it was Bachert, with seventy years experience in the Schiele world and the sales and we can buy together.” This was the beginning the forefront of the artistic rebellion.

In 1906, at the age of 21, he moved to Paris. Many factors shaped his decision. Born in the port city of Livorno, he belonged to an educated family of Sephardic Jews (descended from Spain and Portugal), who encouraged his ambition and exposed him to languages and literature. He had seen great Renaissance art and had trained as a painter. But Paris offered excitement. Paris offered variety. There he would encounter ways of thinking, seeing and behaving that challenged and shaped his work. This exhibition opens with a self-portrait, painted around 1915, in which Modigliani presents himself as the tragic clown Pierrot. His contemporaries would have recognised the reference instantly as, at the time, the figure appeared in countless pictures, plays and films. A young person shaping their identity could relate to Pierrot, a stock character open to interpretation, linked to the past and looking towards the future. Pierrot could be comedic, melancholy or romantic, played by any actor or painted by any artist.

  • Changing Poses: the Artist's Model, November 12, 2010-June 6, 2011
    Changing Poses: The Artist's Model, November 12, 2010-June 6, 2011 “Studying with live models has been a core element of art and design education at RISD since the school's earliest decades.” - Crawford Alexander Mann III, Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow Since ancient times, the model has been an essential aid for artists depicting the human figure. An artist's model could be female or male, amateur or professional, anonymous or intimately known, and of any age, body type, ethnicity, or class. These two galleries offer a chronological look at the model, from figure drawings made four centuries ago in Europe's oldest art academies to elaborately staged photographs produced within the last decade. Each work tells a unique story, inviting you to ask who these models are, why they were chosen, and what kind of exchange developed between artist and model during the creation of each image. Drawn primarily from the Museum's permanent collection, Changing Poses: The Artist's Model reveals the variety of ways in which models have been assistants and muses for generations of artists. Exploring this history, you may recognize such period-specific themes and trends as the focus on the male nude within early art schools, the interest in costume in the 19th century as a signifier of cultural or class identity, the prevalence of the eroticized female body in modern art, and the recent dialogue between high art and fashion advertising. In addition, the model often participates in larger ongoing aesthetic and philosophical debates, most notably that between the real and the ideal.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION When the Metropolitan Museum was founded, my father and uncle were its photog- raphers, remaining so for many years. I have no memories farther back than those of being at the Museum. —Walter Pach o American artist has had a more auspicious beginning in his chosen field. Within Na year after his birth on July 11, 1883, Walter Pach was taken by his father, Got- thelf, from their home on upper Park Avenue to assignments at the Metropolitan on Fourteenth Street, where the infant is said to have crawled around on the museum floor even before he learned to walk.1 By the time he was seven he was being encouraged by the museum’s curator of paintings, George H. Story, who invited him to start copying the drawings of old masters in the Metropolitan’s collection. By all rights, however, Walter should have elected a career in photography. He was being groomed to become the second generation to head the family firm of Pach Brothers, official photographers to more than a dozen U.S. presidents beginning with Ulysses S. Grant. But a single photo assignment seems to have put a damper on that as Walter’s cho- sen profession. While a student at the City College of New York, he worked for his father as a photographer’s assistant during summer vacations. One job involved ascending the as-yet unfinished Flatiron Building, Manhattan’s first skyscraper, to take panoramic pictures of the city. From a vantage point twenty stories above the street, Pach recalled, he used one arm to steady the tripod with the other tightly wrapped around an outside steel beam.2 During his last year at City College, he was enrolled in a drawing and aesthetics class taught by Leigh Harrison Hunt, a New York artist and writer.
