AUTUMN AWAKENING, PART II

Happy First Day of Autumn!

In honor of the new season, here is a throwback to one of my first Artfully Awear posts ever - an outfit inspired by Claude Monet's Haystacks (Sunset) from 1890-1891.  What a perfect inspiration for fall!

FAUVIST FRIDAY

Feeling Fauve on this Fall Friday.

I came across this painting by Mark di Suvero earlier this week as a part of his exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery.  I'm familiar with his sculptural installations, but had never seen the Fauvist, colorful work that simultaneously draws a parallel and contrast with the rest of his hard-edged metal works.

CLive Van Den Berg, The Land Throws Up A Ghost II, 2013

I'm finally embracing the season, inspired by the work of Clive Van Den Berg.  An "artist, curator, designer, writer, teacher, and activist", Van Den Berg produces work across media that deal with various themes from desire, to the human body, to landscape, and more.  Imbued with a sense of his identity as a South African, Van Den Berg's works are colorful representations of memory.
