Talk: “Live Nude Girl: My Life as an Object”

Speaker: Kathleen Rooney (author) 

Join author Kathleen Rooney for a talk and Q&A on her book, Live Nude Girl: My Life as an Object, a lively meditation on the profession of art modeling as it has been practiced in history and as it is practiced today. Rooney draws on her own experiences working as an artist’s model, as well as the famous, notorious, and mysterious artists and models through the ages. Look for connections to some of the themes explored by artists in Twentieth-Century Nudes from Tate.
