Dominant colour
'Flop de Mayo' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Swimsuit, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a person holding a round object with bold colors—purple, orange, and green. They’re wearing a striped sleeveless top and a skirt with fringe at the bottom. One arm is raised, and the other holds the object close to their side. The signature in the corner reads "Flop de Mayo," which is also the title of the work. The colors inside the round object look like a quick, loose sketch of a sunset or landscape. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylized drawings.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
