BRUCE LERRO—One of the stereotypes is that artists’ models must be beautiful. This is not true, in fact, many artists have old me they prefer models who have “character” rather than just a pretty face, or as some say, “skinny little white girls”. As an artist myself I agreed. In fact, at the auditions if you were anything but a skinny white girl you had an advantage. The second stereotype is that artists’ models and artists have sexual relations. This may have been true historically but not likely once artists’ models formed unions or a “guild”.
