First Wednesday Art Talk – Dressed to Thrill: Fashion in Art
It’s often said that you can’t judge a book by its cover. But can a person’s clothing tell us something about who they are, or the world they lived in? This informative and entertaining talk explores the fashions seen in the vast collections of the Legion of Honor. Learn how revolution, religion, and politics have shaped the way people dress. From ancient Greece to the court of Versailles, this presentation gives you a front row seat at a fashion show 2000 years in the making.
This art talk will be via Zoom.
