‘Position, pose, orientation, aspect, stance, disposition, condition, posture’, so begins Susan Allix’s illustrated study of the history of human ‘attitudes’, taking quotes from Goethe, Ovid, Livy, Titian, Madame Vigee Lebrun and others as a starting off point for a wide ranging exploration of form.
