Abstract (en)

Discusses the novella by Charles Aubert, L'aveugle (1883), an erotic/comic story of a relationship between a female painter and her semi-naked male model, in relation to the real problems encountered by women artists in late 19th c. France, especially their exclusion from life classes and from state-funded fine art education. Asserts that the primary reason for excluding women was in fact for the protection and preservation of masculinity, and for the maintenance of masculine bonds formed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
