Too bad Galliano's collection for Dior Couture SS 09, inspired by Vermeer, was so tacky and unrefined...because Vermeer is not in the slightest either one of those adjectives.

I've said this about three times on this forum now but:
He stole my inspiration!
Last week I decided: Vermeer/seventeenth century Dutch costume/Delft for the inspiration of my project
So you can imagine how I felt when Dior couture arrived on Monday with the same . .
I'm just thankful he did a crappy job which was more based on the crunchy scrollwork around the hemline than the subtleties of Vermeer

A shot that goes far beyond fashion, at least to this viewer.

yes, the rich always manage to find the rainbow somehow

^I understand what you're getting at, but to me, both the picture and the anonymous comment were all-encompassing and celebratory.

I'm not denying that there aren't significant economic dimensions to being able to participate in and enjoy fashion, but it's very cynical to attach a political agenda to every image and every word.

[Lite_Brite]

my comment was no more political than the original. I simply get a different sense from the image, which is a good photograph.

[ChloeFrancoise]

I like the comment, especially because of how things are.

Are you sure that's Jackie?? Or do you mean "Jackie O"? (Picture on L is from wiki for comparison ... those are not her lips, I think ... or hair, or face shape ...)

Woods and gardens, I love the fact you could live in a matured way of a tree house. And a piece from Veronique Branquinho (sp?) and Junya Watanabe - I know, early for spring just yet but I can't wait for some warm weather! I've been trap in my house all day due to the bellow freezing temperatures

anyway ... Vermeer barely produced 30 paintings in his whole career .....


I propose you to read this :
Daniel Arasse, L'ambition de Vermeer - I don't know if this has been translated into english ....
maybe this book is the translation ....

and you need to read Svetlana Alpers (and Tzevtan Todorov ... but once again I don't know if the books I'm refering to have been translated ...)

these are MUST read for an introduction to the period (these are art history books, of course) you're talking about ... as I guess you need references for your project ....


and do not forget to check anything about Rembrandt too ... He is major !
