Tripoli
1964
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Tripoli is a 1964 by Carven, depicting Button, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a tall, slender figure standing sideways. The person has one arm bent at the elbow, holding something small in their hand. Their hair is drawn as a loose, flower-like shape on top of their head. The body is mostly black with simple lines, except for two small circles on the chest and a few small flowers near the feet. The artist signed the drawing in the corner with a quick scribble. The word "Tripoli" is written at the top, though it’s unclear what it refers to. Look up Carven next to see more of their work.
These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
