History
The Colarossi Academy was created on the basis of the Charles Sewis Academy , which Kolarossi bought after his death [1] . Initially, it was called the "Academy of Roses" ( French Académie de la Rose ) and was located on the island of Cite ; in 1870, the Academy moved to Grand-Chaumière Street ( fr. rue de la Grande-Chaumière ) in the 6th arrondissement of Paris [2] .
The Colarossi Academy was an alternative to the official School of Fine Arts , which, from the point of view of creative youth, was too conservative. Like the Julian Academy, the Colarossi Academy accepted women for training and allowed them to make sketches from naked male nature [3] . In addition to painting, sculpture was also taught at the Academy.
The high quality of teaching at Colarossi attracted many students from outside of France, including from the United States . In 1910, the Colarossi Academy for the first time accepts a woman for teaching work - it was New Zealand artist Francis Hodgkins [4] . The Academy was also visited by many Russian artists [5] .
The Colarossi Academy was closed in 1930 . As a revenge for her husband's marital infidelity, Madame Colarossi shortly before closing the Academy burned her entire archive [2] .
