1951
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Tango is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing outfit made of horizontal stripes. Her arms are bent at the sides, and the fabric looks soft and draped. The drawing is mostly black lines on a light background, with some shading on her face and hands. The title *Tango* is written in the corner, suggesting the pose might relate to dance. The lines are tight and precise, especially on the clothing. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with layers of lines.
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.
