Dictionary of Artists' Models
The first reference work devoted to their lives and roles, this book provides information on some 200 artists' models from the Renaissance to the present day. Most entries are illustrated and consist of a brief biography, selected works in which the model appears (with location), a list of further reading. This will prove an invaluable reference work for art historians, librarians, museum and gallery curators, as well as students and researchers.
The Invention of the Model
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 ...
Model and Supermodel

Art Models 7
Artists in search of figures in intense action—flying through the air, punching, kicking, and crouching—will find more than 100 poses of male and female models in 28 categories of dynamic movement in the latest addition to the Art Models series. Informed by diverse sources such as baroque art, with its moody lighting and twisting figures, and comic books, with heroic figures in strong stances and suspicious crouches, this visual reference will inspire any artist—comic book artists, animators, video game designers, and illustrators—interested in depicting drama. A section of time-stopping photos of actions including jumping, falling, or swinging a sword offers artists a series of expertly photographed views that would be very challenging to achieve with a studio model. Art Models 7 also presents a number of the series' trademark stationary poses photographed in 24-point rotation and shot in the round. For artists who work in fine detail, close-ups and dramatic perspectives have been added for numerous positions and can be found on the companion disc in resolutions up to 20 megapixels.

Art Models 6
Whether trying a new technique, getting in some practice time, or working on a finished piece, this figure study enables artists to create their choice of model, pose, and view whenever and wherever they'd like. The latest addition to the series will help artists become proficient in incorporating chiaroscuro or light and dark lighting?a technique used by the great masters to produce drama and depth in their paintings?to define the human form. Additional expressions and body details highlighting challenging areas such as the face, hands, and feet in even greater detail augment the disc. Varieties of body types?ranging from thin to plus-size?and ethnicities are included. Poses have been caref...
Painted Ladies; Models of the Great Artists
With few exceptions, the women who have inspired great sculptors and painters have been largely ignored. Muriel Segal remedies the situation in this irreverent look at the model through history. All the lovely and enigmatic ladies are here, from Phryne, the model for the greatest classical Venus ever sculpted, who did a beach-strip more than 2000 years ago to win Praxiteles' eye, to Kiki, the "Venus of Montparnasse," and sweetheart of the Latin Quarter's unheated studios in the 1920s. Between the fifth century B.C. and the twentieth century A.D., the lives of the models were no less fascinating: Mona Lisa Gioconda, whose tentative smile may have had something to do with enduring Leonardo's homemade dentures; Botticelli's golden-haired Simonetta, who died (she was too good to live) when she was twenty; Lady Hamilton, who posed for "Attitudes" at stag parties; Rembrandt's wife Hendrickje, who saved her husband's paintings from creditors by a tax dodge; and many others.--From publisher description.
