Académie de la Grande Chaumière
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Académie de la Grande Chaumière (academy of the large thatched cottage) is an art school located at 14 rue de la Grande Chaumière in the VIe arrondissement of Paris, France. The school was founded by Martha STETTLER (1870-1946) who refused to teach the strict academic rules of painting of the Ecole-des-Beaux-Arts. It opened the way to the "Art Indépendant" (Independent Art). Today, it offers full courses, but also a unique "one-sketch admission" service, for which one pays to draw nude models. At the turn of the 20th century, it was one of the most famous art schools in Paris.
