Female Danish artist Bodil Rohweder created this academic painting about 1910. Trained
in an all female art school, it was only in the last year or two of her art education that
women were allowed to work with fully nude male models, hence the date.
I think that women artists who make sculptures of, paintings of, or photograph naked men are neat, and being a model for them would be neat.
ReplyDeleteThings have come a long way. Thomas Eakins got fired from his teaching job for encouraging female students to use nude and semi-nude male models.
