The online conversation will take place on Wednesday 30 October 2024 at
9 am (PDT) / 12 noon (EDT) / 5 pm (BST) / 6 pm (CEST).

Artists' Models.
Monday 11 November 2024, 8 am (PST) / 11 am (EST) / 5 pm (GMT) / 6 pm (CET).

The relationships between artists and models are notoriously complex. Research into their dynamics and the lives of models has moved us far away from the concept of the ethereal muse effortlessly inspiring an artist to celestial heights.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s upcoming exhibition Manet: A Model Family (10 October 2024 – 20 January 2025) promises to expand our understanding of these relationships by focusing on Édouard Manet’s use of non-professional models from his family and inner circle.

Join Diana Seaver Greenwald, the exhibition’s curator, and Susan Waller, specialist in the artist/model transaction, for an online conversation, chaired by Allison Deutsch.

This webinar is free and open to all, but registration is required as space is limited.
