ACADEMIE COLAROSSI
The Académie Colarossi was the former Académie Suisse on the Île de la Cité which was purchased by Italian sculptor Filippo Colarossi (1841-1906) in 1870, and in 1879 it moved to 10 Rue de la Grande-Chaumière in the 6th arrondissement. It was a free Academy created in reaction to the School of Fine Arts considered too conservative and saw prestigious teachers such as the painter James Abbott Whistler (1834–1903) and the sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) and among the many students we can cite Paul Gauguin, Camille Claudel, Marcel Gromaire, Eileen Gray, Giacometti and Modigliani. Its Suffolk tutors included Frances Hodgkins and pupils included Samuel John Lamorna Birch, Thomas Cantrell Dugdale, Joseph Ridley Radcliffe Mcculloch and Cedric Morris. It closed its doors in the 1930s.
