Sarah Brown (artists' Model)
Marie-Florentine Royer (in some sources Roger, 1869-1896), better known by her English-sounding model name Sarah Brown, probably an affectation due to her Celtic-looking long red hair and pale skin, was a French artist's model famous as the "Queen of Bohemia" in 1890s. Royer's arrest, along with three other well known artists' models for posing scantily clad as part of tableau vivant floats at the 1893 Bal des Quat'z'Arts in Paris' Latin Quarter, provoked one of the most famous student riots of the late nineteenth century. Royer modeled for Jules Lefebrve, Georges Rochegrosse, and Frederick MacMonnies, among many others. She named as "Lily White" in the autobiography of sculptor Janet Scudder Janet Scudder (October 27, 1869 – June 9, 1940), born Netta Deweze Frazee Scudder, was an American Sculpture, sculptor and painter from Terre Haute, Indiana, who is best known for her memorial sculptures, Relief#Bas-relief or low relief, bas-r ..., in which the two women have a co ...

Tableau Vivant
A (; often shortened to ; ; ) is a static scene containing one or more actors or models. They are stationary and silent, usually in costume, carefully posed, with props and/or scenery, and may be theatrically illuminated. It thus combines aspects of theatre and the visual arts. They were a popular medieval form that revived considerably from the 19th century, probably as they were very suitable for recording by photography. The participants were now mostly amateurs, participating in a quick and easy form of amateur dramatics that could be brought together in an evening, and required little skill in acting or speaking. They were also popular for various sorts of community events and parades. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there was also a type of ''tableau'' used in the professional theatre, taking advantage of the extra latitude the law allowed for the display of nudity so long as the actors did not move. Tableaux featured ('flexible poses') by virtually nude ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bal Des Quat'z'Arts
Bal des Quat'z'Arts ("Four Arts Ball") was a Parisian annual ball, the first held in 1892 and the last in 1966. The event was organised by Henri Guillaume, Professor of Architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts for students of architecture, painting, sculpture, and engraving. History The Bohemianism, bohemians of Montmartre who modeled their pranks in the form of carnival were instrumental in initiating the Bal des Quat'z'Arts. It was one of the two controversial carnivals of the 1880s and 1890s, the other being the annual masked ball, held in the spring. The carnival was an annual event with different themes. It was held particularly for the students of the four branches of architecture, painting, sculpture, and engraving of the École des Beaux-Arts. It was considered a "riotous Saturnalia". The girls accompanying the students for the carnival painted their bodies and wore costumes over them which would eventually come off during the wild revelry. The fi ...

Student Riot
Student riots, college riots, or campus riots are riots precipitated by students, generally from a college, university, or other school. Student riots are often an aspect of student protests. Reasons As with riots in general, the causes are varied. Student riots have often been political in nature, such as those that were common in the US and Western Europe during the Vietnam War era. Student riots in China during 1989 arose when the students started protesting against the injustice of their politicians. In a number of countries, such as Mexico, Chile, Iran, Venezuela and Bangladesh, students form an active political force, and student riots can occur in the context of wider political or social grievances. On some occasions student riots have accompanied a general strike, a student strike, or wider national protests. Student riots have also been seen as hooliganism—such as after sporting events—with some in the US being linked to alcohol consumption. Responses Responses ...
