About this product

Product Information

The articulated human figure made of wax or wood has been a common tool in artistic practice since the 16th century. Its mobile limbs enable the artist to study anatomical proportion, fix a pose at will, and perfect the depiction of drapery and clothing. Over the course of the 19th century, the mannequin gradually emerged from the studio to become the artist's subject, at first humorously, then in more complicated ways, playing on the unnerving psychological presence of a figure that was realistic, yet unreal-lifelike, yet lifeless. Silent Partners locates the artist's mannequin within the context of an expanding universe of effigies, avatars, dolls, and shop window dummies. Generously illustrated, this book features works by such artists as Poussin, Gainsborough, Degas, Courbet, Cézanne, Kokoschka, Dalí, Man Ray, and others; the astute, perceptive text examines their range of responses to the uncanny and highly suggestive potential of the mannequin. Published in association with the Fitzwilliam Museum Exhibition Schedule: Musée Bourdelle, Paris (03/15/15-05/15/15) Fitzwilliam Museum (10/14/14-01/15/15)

Reviews
'[A] fascinating and scholarly new book. . . Jane Munro introduces this book by saying her aim is 'to give the artist's 'silent' partner a voice'. She certainly succeeds, as well as providing enough rich, often disturbing, material for contemplation in a world where the allure of androids and avatars is only increasing.'--Marcus Field, Art Quarterly

  • Little Information on the Mannequin

    This book is about the LARGE LIFE SIZE mannequins mostly. In contrast it is printed in the smallest print possible and is about an inch thick. The author drivels on and on, about one artist after another, their purchase of a large mannequin, possible use of mannequin in paintings( mostly drapery), passage of said mannequin in artist estate, and on to the next artist. When she runs out of artist to talk about, she does dolls, and even mannequins used to display fashion. I was looking for information on the 19th century small artist mannequins. How these little mannequins were produced, marketed, and used, is of great interest to me. Their function is never talked about. Small contemporary mannequins today are used to practice life drawing and ascertain the position of the figure in ...
