Colorossi

Filippo Colarossi (1841–1906), Italian artist's model turned sculptor, who kept the private Académie Colarossi in Paris, open to women and an alternative to the official École des Beaux-Arts (en.wikipedia «Filippo Colarossi» and «Académie Colarossi»). The diary writes «Colorossi».

Relevance to Marie

Once, on 1881-08-20 (093.0006). Marie has gone alone to the sculptor #Falguière, posing as an American; he «m'a envoyée à un atelier où il donne des conseils», and she says she would settle for «l'atelier où Arcangiolo notre ancien modèle ... est domestique» (093.0005). The next paragraph names the master of that school: «L'atelier est tenu par un ancien modèle aussi, Colorossi» (093.0006). The Mon Journal t.14 index lists «Colorossi (M.); modèle à l'atelier Julian: 194», which misreads the sentence: he did not model at Julian's but kept his own school. Marie did not join it; she entered #Julian's atelier in October 1877.
