Live Nude Girl: My Life as an Object is a lively meditation
on the profession of art modeling as it has been practiced
in history and as it is practiced today. Kathleen Rooney
draws on her own experiences working as an artists’ model,
as well as the famous, notorious, and mysterious artists
and models through the ages. Through a combination of
personal perspective, historical anecdote, and witty prose,
Life Nude Girl reveals that both the appeal of posing nude
for artists and the appeal of drawing the naked figure lie
in our deeply human responses to beauty, sex, love, and
death.
