Description

Fabric of Vision: Dress and Drapery in Painting

By Anne Hollander, this beautifully illustrated book explores how clothing has been used creatively by artists to convey meaning and emotion in their works. From Renaissance extravagance to Neoclassical simplicity, the author reveals the evolution of drapery in art over six centuries.

With a wealth of examples from paintings, fashion plates, photographs, and film stills, this book provides insight into the infinite uses of drapery in modern art. First published in 2002 to accompany an exhibition at the National Gallery, London, it has been reissued with a new Foreword by Valerie Steele.
