| - | The '''Académie Julian''' was an [[art school]] in [[Paris]], [[France]]. | + | The '''Académie Colarossi''' is an [[art school]] founded by the [[Italy|Italian]] sculptor [[Filippo Colarossi]]. First located on the [[Île de la Cité]], it moved in the 1870s to 10 rue de la Grande-Chaumière in the [[VIe arrondissement]] of Paris, France. |
| - | Rodolphe Julian established the Académie Julian in 1868 at the [[Passage des Panoramas]], as a private studio school for art students. At the time, the government sanctioned art school of France, [[École des Beaux-Arts]], did not allow women to enroll for study, but the new Académie Julian permitted them to enroll. Women participated in the same studies as men, including the basis of art training at the time — drawing and painting of [[Nudity|nude]] models, which was considered improper for women. | + | The Académie was established in the 19th century as an alternative to the government-sanctioned [[École des Beaux Arts]] that had, in the eyes of many promising young artists at the time, become far too conservative. |
| - | Like its counterpart, the [[Académie Colarossi]], it was popular with French and foreign students, particularly [[United States|Americans]]. The Académie Julian accepted not only professional painters, but also serious amateurs. Eventually, Académie Julian students were granted the right to compete for the ''[[Prix de Rome]]'', a prize awarded to promising young artists. | + | Along with its equivalent [[Académie Julian]], and unlike the official École, the Colarossi school accepted female students and allowed them to draw from the nude male model. Among the female attendees are [[Jeanne Hébuterne]], [[Amedeo Modigliani|Modigliani]]'s muse, and the woman who would become [[Auguste Rodin|Rodin]]'s source of inspiration, model, confidante and lover, [[Camille Claudel]]. Noted also for its classes in life sculpting, the school attracted many foreign students, including a large number from the United States. |
| - | Over time, Académie Julian opened schools in other locations. In addition to the original school at Passage des Panoramas, studios were at no. 31 [[Rue du Dragon]] in the [[6ème arrondissement, Paris|6<sup>e</sup> arrondissement]]. | + | In 1910, the progressive Académie appointed the [[New Zealand]] artist [[Frances Hodgkins]] (1869-1947) as its first female teacher. Among its other instructions was the influential French sculptor [[Jean Antoine Injalbert]] and the Japanese-influenced painter [[Raphael Collin]]. |
| - | In 1888-1889, [[Les Nabis]] originated as a rebellious group of young student artists who banded together at the Académie Julian. | + | In 1922 sculptor [[Henry Moore]] attended, although not as a student. Moore took life-drawing (no instruction) classes here, open to the general public, paid for with a book of inexpensive tickets. The evening classes were progressively timed -- one hour, then 20 minutes, then five minutes, then one -- to develop various drawing skills. |
| - | Académie Julian integrated with [[École Supérieure d'Arts Graphiques-Penninghen]] in 1968. | + | The school closed in the 1930s. In the same years, Madame Colarossi burned the priceless school archives in retaliation for her husband's philandering. |

The Académie Colarossi is an art school founded by the Italian sculptor Filippo Colarossi. First located on the Île de la Cité, it moved in the 1870s to 10 rue de la Grande-Chaumière in the VIe arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Académie was established in the 19th century as an alternative to the government-sanctioned École des Beaux Arts that had, in the eyes of many promising young artists at the time, become far too conservative.
Along with its equivalent Académie Julian, and unlike the official École, the Colarossi school accepted female students and allowed them to draw from the nude male model. Among the female attendees are Jeanne Hébuterne, Modigliani's muse, and the woman who would become Rodin's source of inspiration, model, confidante and lover, Camille Claudel. Noted also for its classes in life sculpting, the school attracted many foreign students, including a large number from the United States.
In 1910, the progressive Académie appointed the New Zealand artist Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) as its first female teacher. Among its other instructions was the influential French sculptor Jean Antoine Injalbert and the Japanese-influenced painter Raphael Collin.
In 1922 sculptor Henry Moore attended, although not as a student. Moore took life-drawing (no instruction) classes here, open to the general public, paid for with a book of inexpensive tickets. The evening classes were progressively timed -- one hour, then 20 minutes, then five minutes, then one -- to develop various drawing skills.
The school closed in the 1930s. In the same years, Madame Colarossi burned the priceless school archives in retaliation for her husband's philandering.
