The session will be inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, with their focus on the desire for passion and their precision of expressing these feelings. In our session our model will recite her own poetry in a setup that will echo the romantic period, with its flowers, warm colours and use of mirrors.

Model Naomi:

She is a performance artist creating pieces that incite riotous acts of joyful disobedience, celebrating empowerment and rebellion, while merging circus with storytelling and poetry with burlesque. She believes in the transcendental and unifying power of creativity and self-expression and the importance of silliness and sensuality.

The style: The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

The name Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood referred to the groups’ opposition to the Royal Academy’s promotion of the Renaissance master Raphael.

They were also in revolt against the triviality of the immensely popular genre painting of time. Inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, who urged artists to ‘go to nature’, they believed in an art of serious subjects treated with maximum realism. Their principal themes were initially religious, but they also used subjects from literature and poetry, particularly those dealing with love and death.

They also explored modern social problems. Its principal members were William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. After initial heavy opposition the Pre-Raphaelites became highly influential, with a second phase of the movement from about 1860, inspired particularly by the work of Rossetti, making major contribution to symbolism.
