Description
Dress and fashion are central to our understanding of art, providing clues about the cultural beliefs of the time in which artworks were produced. This concise and accessible book offers a step-by-step guide to analysing dress in art, covering paintings, photographs, drawings, and art installations. The book introduces a methodology for visual analysis, explaining how to 'read' fashion and dress in an artwork using checklists. It also presents case studies that demonstrate how artworks can be analysed from the point of view of key themes such as status, identity, modernity, and ideals of beauty. Iconic and lesser-known works of art are featured, including works by various artists. This book is ideal for students of fashion coming to art history for the first time, as well as art history students studying dress in art. The step-by-step methodology helps readers learn to critically analyse artworks featuring the dressed or undressed body.
