YVES SAINT LAURENT AND ART - MOUNA MEKOUR STEPH...

An unforgettable journey through art history with Yves Saint Laurent as a guide.     January
1962 saw the launch of the very first collection by Yves Saint Laurent. To celebrate the 60th
anniversary of the founding of his couture house  the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris is
organizing a unique retrospective of the couturier's work that juxtaposes his creations with
art works from the collections of four major Paris institutions: the Musée d'Orsay  the Centre
Pompidou  the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musée Picasso  as well as
presenting a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the secrets of couture at the Musée Yves Saint
Laurent.    From the ancient world to pop art  Yves Saint Laurent regularly took inspiration
from art history as he combined colours  carved out new forms and rethought the structure of
garments in order to create his own masterpieces. Here  androgynous silhouettes and Proustian
gowns stand alongside Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe   feather patterns respond to Jackson
Pollock's drip paintings  flowing silhouettes merge with a mural by Raoul Dufy  Lucio Fontana's
neon lights make metallic fabrics sparkle and the motifs on a coat echo The Dance by Henri
Matisse.     Exploring the couturier's deliberate homages to the masters of art and his
never-ending quest for new means of aesthetic expression  this book takes readers on an
unforgettable journey through art history with Yves Saint Laurent as a guide.
