Fabric of Vision: Dress and Drapery in Painting
Dress and drapery play a vital role in painting, adding mood and
expression to narrative pictures and portraits. This exhibition examines
how painters from the Renaissance to the 20th century have used fabric
and garments in their paintings, adapting their subjects to the fashions
of each period and responding to the teastes of their audiences.
The exhibition is conceived and curated by Anne Hollander, the New
York-based historian of costumne and author of 'Seeing Through Clothes'
(1993) and 'Sex and Suits' (1995).
Admission charge still to be determined.
