Customer Reviews

Superb analysis of the relationship between model and artist

"Through a series of startling analyses, France Borel draws on a broad knowledge of the history of art to produce an aproach 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."
