Chacale
1959
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Chacale is a 1959 by Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
The image depicts a woman in a black dress, with a matching purse in her right hand. She is wearing high heels and has short, white hair. The background of the image is white, with a small sketch of a dress on the right side. The woman's dress is sleeveless and has a full skirt that falls just above her knees. The purse she is holding is rectangular in shape and has a strap that goes over her shoulder. The small sketch of a dress on the right side of the image appears to be a rough outline of the woman's dress. The overall style of the image is simple and elegant, with clean lines and minimal details. The use of black and white creates a striking contrast that draws the viewer's attention to the woman and her dress. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
