Art models are among the “blue-collar workers of the arts,” as one figure-drawing model told Hyperallergic Staff Writer Isa Farfan (isaislearninghowtouseacamera), describing long days of holding difficult poses that are a feat of physical and mental strength. Yet in many cases, these workers can barely make ends meet.
