Artist's Description
This composite image combines the pose from Gustave Courbet’s "The Painter’s Studio" with Georges Seurat’s painting "Models."
Gustave Courbet declared, "[W]hen I am dead, let this be said of me: ‘He belonged to no school, to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any regime except the regime of liberty.’" In "The Painter’s Studio" he is flanked by friends and admirers on the right and challengers on the left.
Georges Seurat, heavily criticized for pointillism, was rejected by the Paris Salon. Told pointillism could only work with outdoor subjects, he defiantly painted indoor skin tones in ‘Models.’
Pointillism’s tiny juxtaposed dots of multi-colored paint allow a viewer to blend colors optically—rather like the dots used in photographs.

About Don McCunn
I am a photographer/costumer raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a BS in theatre from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in theatre from UCSB. For me photography is theatre at 1/60th of a second. It gives me particular pleasure to work with talented models to create original imagery inspired by fine art that has been enjoyed for centuries.
