Haute Read – Fashionable Art
Art Meets Runway! This Book Unpacks the Surprisingly Stylish World of “Fashionable Art”!
O.M.G., art lovers and style mavens, you HAVE to hear about this! Nominated for a fancy award (so you KNOW it’s good!), this book dives into something totally mind-blowing: how the world of art is kinda, sorta becoming… well, fashionable!
Think about it: with everything going digital and global, what we think is “cool” and “now” in art is starting to follow the trends we see in fashion! Remember when art movements used to just have a hint of what was modern? Now, art shows and markets are all about the next big thing, the next sensation, the next new idea – sound familiar, fashionistas?!
But how do we decide what’s “good,” “cutting edge,” and totally “in” when it comes to art? What makes a piece go from “meh” to “must-have” and sell like hotcakes?
“Fashionable Art” gets seriously stylish as it explores the wild relationship between art, money, taste, and what we think is culturally valuable. Each chapter is like a mini style guide to a major art movement – from amazing Chinese and Aboriginal art to Cubism, Pop Art, and even outsider art – showing how contemporary art has been shaped since the groovy 70s!
Written by some seriously smart visual culture gurus, Geczy and Millner, this book uses all the cool theories to break down this super interesting topic. It’s a complex look at how “fashion” influences art (and even when it doesn’t!), making it a total must-read for anyone who loves art history, fashion studies, and understanding why we like what we like! Get ready to have your mind (and your aesthetic!) totally expanded!
CHECKED!
