Over the course of seven decades, Twinka Thiebaud has collaborated with thirty artists working in photography, painting, and drawing. This catalogue explores her body of work as an artist's model alongside developments in photographic techniques and technology, and the role of nature in defining West Coast experimentation.

This is the first book to highlight Twinka Thiebaud's long career and influence as an artist's model, while also exploring the artistic processes of numerous West Coast-based artists working today. Comprised of 120 paintings, drawings, and photographs that date from the 1940s through 2021, this catalogue's essays and interviews investigate the body/nature relationship in photographs of Thiebaud from the 1970s and 2000s, and her collaborations with such artists as Judy Dater and John Reiff Williams.

Twinka Thiebaud and the Art of Pose is a compelling look at the symbiosis between model and artist and the evolving role of artistic collaboration.
