“Pietro da Cortona could not pass before the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius in the Capitole in Rome without saying to it with a ‘pittoresque’ enthusiasm (that’s to say, of a painter): “Go on then! Don’t you know that you’re alive?”
“Pierre de Cortone ne pouvait passer devant la statue équestre de Marc-Aurèle dans la cour du Capitole á Rome sans lui dire par un enthousiasme ‘pittoresque’ (c’est à dire, du peintre): “Avance donc! Ne sçais-tu pas que tu est vivant?'”
–Réflexions critiques sur la poésie et sur la peinture, l’Abbé Du Bos, 1719

HOW to CONTACT the Faculty
You may write to any faculty member using our address above, and it will be forwarded to the correct individual.
Our historic studio home, our museum lectures in Paris, and our campus in Argenton-Chateau, are not open to the general public.
Individual interviews — in person or on the telephone — are not a part of the admissions process. We appreciate curiosity, but personal tours and studio visits are not offered to prospective students for any reason.
To protect our (and their) privacy and concentration, our classroom studio is open to currently enrolled students only. We spend a lot of quality time with our students. If you are enrolled in an upcoming program, that’s when we’ll meet you.
Thanks in advance for your comprehension.
