Synopsis
What is it like to be a life model for artists? How does it feel to inform the creation of enduring images: nude; motionless; an object of scrutiny and inspiration? What do you learn about art, about being looked at and the act of seeing, about your body and yourself? Do you recognise your own image in strangers' hands?
Throughout her twenties, Kelley Swain worked as an artists' model. The Naked Muse is her elegant, fascinating memoir of this time, meditating on art, travel, and how we accept, inhabit, and understand our own bodies. She describes her first experience disrobing for a class, modelling for international artists over six years, an intensive month being painted in Bruges, and posing as saints for a Sicilian chapel frieze.
Swain reveals how it really feels physically, intellectually, and emotionally - in the moment when "it s my matter that matters, not ... what I consider to be 'me'." Both a flirtation with submissiveness and a wielding of power, Swain examines the model's role in art s alchemy, and tells the forgotten stories of women whose faces still bewitch us from gallery walls.
