Lumina 2016 Auction

Henri Matisse was a French printmaker, sculptor, draughtsman, and painter known primarily for his bold use of colour throughout his career. Inspiration for this outfit was drawn from Matisse's work as a foreman of the Fauvism movement. This outfit consists of a velvety top made of what can only be described as "blanket material" and a rich faux fur skirt. The leftmost figure from Matisse's iconic La Danse is embroidered and stretched across the model's torso.
