Chacun d'entre nous connaît sans le savoir la Maison Stockman. Elle incarne depuis 150 ans un véritable savoir-faire français : la création de bustes de couturière et mannequins de vitrine, ces «faux-semblables» pétris de la matière dont sont faits les rêves. Pour transformer le passant en client, le mannequin doit le séduire ; son visage et sa morphologie incarnent les idéaux de beauté propres à chaque époque. Les photographes les plus célèbres ne s'y sont d'ailleurs pas trompés en les immortalisant (Man Ray, Robert Doisneau ou encore George Hoyningen-Huene). Ce beau livre, enrichi par les trésors de collections particulières, nous invite à découvrir une histoire de la mode singulière.

"The articulated human figure made of wax or wood has been a common tool in artistic practice since the 16th century. Its mobile limbs enable the artist to study anatomical proportion, fix a pose at will, and perfect the depiction of drapery and clothing. Over the course of the 19th century, the mannequin gradually emerged from the studio to become the artist's subject, at first humorously, then in more complicated ways, playing on the unnerving psychological presence of a figure that was realistic, yet unreal-lifelike, yet lifeless. Silent Partners locates the artist's mannequin within the context of an expanding universe of effigies, avatars, dolls, and shop window dummies. Generously illustrated, this book features works by such artists as Poussin, Gainsborough, Degas, Courbet, Cézanne, Kokoschka, Dalí, Man Ray, and others; the astute, perceptive text examines their range of responses to the uncanny and highly suggestive potential of the mannequin"--

De petite taille ou grandeur nature, le mannequin d'artiste est utilisé dès la Renaissance pour la reproduction de drapés ou des proportions anatomiques. Cet ouvrage montre l'évolution des modèles artistiques en s'appuyant sur une iconographie variée de la peinture à la photographie en passant par le dessin ou les brevets d'invention. ©Electre 2015

Over the last four decades, the fashion modeling industry has become a lightning rod for debates about Western beauty ideals, the sexual objectification of women, and consumer desire. Yet, fashion models still captivate, embodying all that is cool, glam, hip, and desirable. They are a fixture in tabloids, magazines, fashion blogs, and television. Why exactly are models so appealing? And how do these women succeed in so soundly holding our attention?In This Year’s Model, Elizabeth Wissinger weaves together in-depth interviews and research at model castings, photo shoots, and runway shows to offer a glimpse into the life of the model throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Once an ad hoc occupation, the “model life” now involves a great deal of physical and virtual management of the body, or what Wissinger terms “glamour labor.” Wissinger argues that glamour labor—the specialized modeling work of self-styling, crafting a ‘look,’ and building an image—has been amplified by the rise of digital media, as new technologies make tinkering with the body’s form and image easy. Models can now present self-fashioning, self-surveillance, and self-branding as essential behaviors for anyone who is truly in the know and ‘in fashion.’ Countless regular people make it their mission to achieve this ideal, not realizing that technology is key to creating the unattainable standard of beauty the model upholds—and as Wissinger argues, this has been the case for decades, before Photoshop even existed. Both a vividly illustrated historical survey and an incisive critique of fashion media, This Year’s Model demonstrates the lasting cultural influence of this unique form of embodied labor.
