YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday, HENI Talks is presented by Carol Jacobi, Curator.
“We think of Isabel as … this incredibly glamourous figure … but she challenged that fundamental divide between the model and artist … in a way, when she was the subject of Giacometti, of Bacon, she was also an artist." – Carol Jacobi
Defying expectations, Isabel Rawsthorne (1912 – 1992) made a place for herself amongst contemporaries in early 20th century visual art, ending up at the centre of the Paris avant-garde. Her ingenuity as an artists' model won her the freedom to paint, a vocation she would pursue for 75 years. A lifelong natural historian, Rawsthorne’s ephemeral images are informed by her observations of the language of gesture and movement, from her poetic depictions of animals to her embattled self-portraits. Guided by Carol Jacobi, this HENI Talk uncovers Rawsthorne’s unique artistic legacy, revealing her as “a missing link of 20th century art.”
