Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very superior person, reviewing the charming volume upon "The Art of Silhouette," by Desmond Coke, speaks of the collecting and study of the silhouette as a "quirk," and of the author as " quirky." Such an attitude would, of course, apply to all and any art, if we take the stand towards the activities of man, say, of a university youth stepping on to a London platform at the beginning of his self-inflicted literary career, and doggedly determined to maintain a high reputation for knowingness from the beginning. It is like the fresh and delightful lads whom we impose upon our editorial friends as reviewers, to find them patronizing our "masterpieces" as "quite nice." It is all very delicious and amusing. But in what tense can the silhouette be deemed a "quirk"? Let us see. The art of painting begins inevitably with drawing-with expression by means of the point-the result: line. This every teacher and academy realizes and has to realize. More; every great school of painting has evolved from it. But this use of the point, or drawing, soon reaches its limitations; and the brush demands mass, or perhaps it is more correct to say that mass demands the brush. The floating of masses on to canvas or paper, with its edges holding the outline of the form, is silhouette. Silhouette, in other words, is the basis of all mass impressions; without a sense of silhouette we can utter no large and sublime moods. Yet, strange to say, the small part given to silhouette in the teaching of the art of painting in academies-indeed, more often the utter lack of it-has always struck me as extraordinary. To begin with, the student should learn to utter the thing seen in mass as early as he is taught the point. Otherwise it is as though one expected to handle an orchestra by mastering the shrill possibilities of the tin whistle. It is, by consequence, small wonder that our critic speaks of the silhouette as a quirk. As a fact, he who does not master the silhouette can never utter vast and majestic impressions in painting. Cotman, one of the supreme masters of watercolor, employed the silhouette for his masses in landscape with a skill and a beauty of handling which is the despair of the student. Yet, the moment one comes to think of it, how rare are the painters of the first rank who have not founded their mastery upon it I Nevertheless I have heard even artists ask: "What is a silhouette?" ... -T.

Download or read book Fashioning the Body written by Denis Bruna and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty and stylish look into the mechanics employed by men and women to sculpt their figures for fashion This unique survey offers fascinating insights into the convoluted transformations employed by both men and women to accommodate the fickle dictates of fashion. With high design, wit, and style, Fashioning the Body tracks the evolution of these sartorial devices--from panniers, crinolines, and push-up bras to chains, zippers, and clasps--concealed beneath outer layers in order to project idealized figures. Women's corsets constricted waists; exaggerated buttocks and hips counterbalanced jutting bust lines; and chic, aerodynamic silhouettes compressed breasts and flattened bellies. Yet masculine fashion has been no stranger to these tortuous practices. Men flaunted their virility by artificially broadening their shoulders, applying padding to their chests, and slipping codpieces over their groins. With more than 200 beautiful illustrations--including reproductions of superb historic advertisements--Denis Bruna reveals the industry and art of these contrivances meant to entice and beguile as well as assert status and power. Contemporary haute-couture designers Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons, Christian Lacroix, and Vivienne Westwood are featured in this indiscreet tour of intimate fashion history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in the 1920s, sixteen-year-old Garnet Richardson watches the birds outside her window, admiring their freedom and beauty. Her mother, on the other hand, does not approve of Garnet climbing trees to peer into nests. She has Garnet’s life all planned out: after finishing high school, she’ll marry and tend to the home. When Garnet is sent away for the summer to stay with relatives in the lakeside resort town of Excelsior, Minnesota, she discovers a chance to spread her wings. There she finds herself under the supervision of oppressive guardians and her father’s wealthy cousin. But an amusement park and roaring dance hall beckon, and her explorations land her where she least expects—enthralled with a beautiful and daring flapper, Isabella. Caught between her family’s expectations and her own newfound passions, Garnet must decide whose dreams to follow. Tender and moving, Silhouette of a Sparrow is the tale of a young woman’s discovery of the science of risk, the art of rebellion, and, of course, the power of unexpected love.

Download or read book Fashion Game Changers written by Karen Van Godtsenhoven and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion Game Changers traces radical innovations in Western fashion design from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. Challenging the traditional silhouettes of their day, fashion designers such as Madeleine Vionnet and Cristóbal Balenciaga began to liberate the female body from the close-fitting hourglass forms which dominated European and American fashion, instead enveloping bodies in more autonomous garments which often took inspiration from beyond the West. As the century progressed, new generations of avant-garde designers from Rei Kawakubo to Martin Margiela further developed the ideas instigated by their predecessors to defy established notions of femininity in dress, creating space between body and garment. This way, a new relationship between body and dress emerged for the 21st century. With over 200 images and commentaries from an international range of leading fashion curators and historians, this beautifully illustrated book showcases some of the most revolutionary silhouettes and innovative designs of over 100 years of fashion.
