Is that what you call them? How quaint ....
No, that’s what Monty Python's Flying Circus calls them. I thought it was a worthy coinage.
I'd be more worried about how you hold that pose for 4 hours.How come he gets to wear something and I don't?
Debatable - your leg will feel pretty heavy, and then there's the lash if you accidentally change position. Art is sacrifice.

It's a very interesting question Barb. Why was ut acceptable for the female model to be totally nude and in the arms of the male? Was covering him considered to be sufficient to make the situation acceptable? It casts an interesting light on attitudes of the time.
Well, maybe when women weren't present it was more acceptable?
Here is a late 19th century crucifixion study with a naked male model
This is by the artist Rehder, looks late 19th/early 20th century and looks to be from a naked life model
Muybridge of course
This is Man Ray, artist and model, not sure of the date but probably a little after the period we are talking about. 20s or 30s?

My sister was at art school in the 1960's, she has said that their models, whether male or female, had to be either fully clothed or fully naked.
No bras, panties or briefs/posing pouches to be shown. One woman, fairly middle-aged it has to be said, remarked one day:-
"Can't I get me vest and knickers on it's so chilly like this?" She was severely reprimanded by the tutor.
Actually, Google attributes that to František Drtikol, well-loved here for his pioneering photos of crucified women.
His style and Man Ray's - especially male nudes - aren't easy to tell apart, I think.
And not be allowed bra and knickers seems to be just one of those thingsThings happen to those who have a tendency to complain a lot

This is what Americans visualize when they hear the word "knickers."

And this "Knickers". I prefer it more.
You're right Eul, the attribution was from memory. Somewhere along the line years ago I picked up the idea that it was a Man Ray self portrait. Thanks for the correction!
How did I not recognise the work of Drtikol!
You were right about it being a self-portrait, though - albeit by Frantisek Drtikol, taken in 1930.
She prefers it to be more accessible...Modern art

They say, the first thing you have to do when you enter a building, is look around where the emergency exits and the fire extinguishers are located!
Now, for once a concerned visitor is interested in the safety equipment of the museum, they make a mockery of it.
Where does that ragtime music suddenly come from?This is what Americans visualize when they hear the word "knickers."

I got the period right as well! I said 20s or 30s
Just the wrong artist.
I could never mistake the work of Bobinder like that.
Here's another lady who likes what she's found. A very interactive installation . . . . .
