Home > Académie Colarossi
The Académie Colarossi is an art school founded by the Italian sculptor, Filippo Colarossi . Located at 10 rue de la Grande-Chaumière in Paris, France, it was established in the nineteenth 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 the Académie Julian, the Colarossi school accepted female students and allowed them to draw from the nude male model. 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.
