Clark, together with Nora Houston, founded the Richmond Art Club, where Pollak received her first encouragement and training in the fine arts. Given her formative role in leading Pollak to a career in art, Clark became one of Pollak's most important mentors and lifelong friends--as this photograph clearly shows.

Description
An account of the resource
Having trained at the progressive Art Student's League of New York, Pollak was a strong believer in the educational value of the nude figure. However, Dean Hibbs knew that the then-conservative Richmond majority would condemn the college's use of nude models, and he insisted on ballet dance costumes as the minimum coverage required.
Nevertheless, Miss Pollak was persistent in her petitioning for the use of nude models in advanced art classes. Over time, the dance costumes gave way to two-piece bathing suits, then to burlesque-inspired "G-straps," and finally to the fully nude figure.
This photograph shows students participating in one of the earliest life classes offered at RPI--a privilege which, at the time, set Pollak's budding art program apart from most other schools in the south.
