1960
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Vert et blanc is a 1960 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing green dress with a high slit up the side. Her arms are stretched out to the sides, and she wears simple jewelry—a necklace and earrings. The dress is sleek and narrow at the top, flaring out into a wide skirt with a split fringe at the bottom. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist focused on the shape and movement of the dress, not details like fabric texture. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create shading.
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.
