David Hockney Art
Roberto Cavalli dress
Tory Burch clutch
Jessica Simpson pumps
I recently was introduced to the artwork by David Hockney in the April issue of Vogue. As I have said many times before: I love color. His landscape paintings are so vibrant and enchanting it almost feels like a scene out of Alice in Wonderland. There are so many pieces to choose from to incorporate a fashionable set I feel like a whole collection could be created using his colors and whimsical aesthetic. I feel that the Roberto Cavalli dress above gave the perfect illusion of a colorful, enchanting forest and the Tory Burch clutch pulls in a realistic, woody nature feel.
Hockney graduated from Bradford College of Art in 1957 and there's a wonderful timeline of his work broken down by decade on his website. (I tried to image which painting would fit best in Megan & Don Draper's stylish apartment from the 50's and 60's sections.)
A few works from his site:
