9780847812172: The Seduction of Venus: Artists and Models

Synopsis

"Through a series of startling analyses, France Borel draws on a broad knowledge of the history of art to produce an approach that moves freely in time and space, from antiquity to the present, from Italy to Germany, in order to observe what takes place within the privacy of the studio. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, engravings and photographers abundantly illustrate the many surprising facets of the artist's relationship to his model, a theme where Eros and Thanatos are constantly drawn together." From front flap of the book.
