Comment:
Drawing nudes was one of the most important and advanced elements in art education. An understanding of human anatomy is also vital for the depiction of clothed models, and in addition to drawing nudes it is essential to study the skeleton and muscles of the body. In 1880s Kristiania, students at the School of Drawing were only permitted to draw male nudes on moral grounds, so even though Munch painted a few female nudes in private, he received no training in this area until he arrived at Bonnat’s studio in Paris in 1889.
