Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity

I was lucky enough to see this show in New York at the Metropolitan Museum. If you love fashion it is a must see. It ends in New York on  May 27th and then it moves to Chicago June 26 though September 22, 2013.
I know for most of you that it will be impossible to get to New York or Chicago so I'm putting as much of the show on this blog as possible.

Albert Bartholome (French, 1848-1928)
In the Conservatory (Madame Batholome)
Oil on canvas
Musee d Orsay
Here's an excerpt from the article “Dandies and Muses” Vogue Magazine's February 2013 issue. It tells a wonderful story about the painting above and the dress below.

This link will take you to the Metropolitan Museum website which has some of the highlights from the show.

Here's a few more photos from the show I found online. They give a bit more feel for the layout.
