Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Tomorrow is your last chance to see “Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity.” Some eighty major figure paintings, seen in concert with period costumes, accessories, fashion plates, photographs, and popular prints, highlight the vital relationship between fashion and art during the pivotal years, from the mid-1860s to the mid-1880s, when Paris emerged as the style capital of the world.
