Académie de la Grande Chaumière

The Académie de la Grande Chaumiere is an art academy at Montparnasse in Paris, in the Rue de la Grande Chaumiere, No. 14 ( German " street of the great thatched hut " ) in the 6th arrondissement. It was founded c.1902 and directed from 1909 to 1945 by the Swiss painter Martha Stettler ( 1870-1945 ), their Baltic painter friend Alice Dannenberg ( 1861-1948 ) and Claudio Castelucho. Since about 1950 it is from the family Charpentier - still in the same place - out.

The Academy was (and still is ) an open art school, that is, there was no multi-year advanced courses. You could for weeks, days or even enroll hour, and then sketch with or without corrections from a teacher. Were popular especially in the evening, the so-called " Croquis à cinq minutes" (German five-minute sketches ), where a model every five minutes changed the position.

Because of the open structure of the Academy, there is little archive material, from which would show who was enrolled at the Academy.

In the first third of the 20th century it was the most famous art academy in Paris.
