art inspired: fernand leger's les trapézistes
Tuesday, September 20, 2011
If any artist were calling to be recognized as a leading inspiration for Fall 2011 fashions, it would have to be Fernand Leger, whose architect training and emphasis on geometry merged with the desire to depict the every day man as an object instead of a subject in order to liberate painting from sentimental value. The objects of consumer society became the subject instead, and many consider Leger to be the original pop artist, who went on to influence Hans Arp, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Ellsworth Kelly, and Frank Stella.
This outfit replete with many Leger colors, is one that I would happily wear into fall. I love the creamy coat, the lovely lined detail of the blazer and of course those fun red pants! What is your fall palette shaping up to be?

Love the painting and wasn't familiar with this artist prior. I'm loving jewel tones and bright denim.
Love those red trsrs - i am def in the mood for a bit of colour - burgundy is already a hit and orange and bright pink - teal, all mixed with the more basic nudey beiges i love so much xx

I admit I'm not the biggest fan of pop art, but I love how it inspired your outfit. The coat is gorgeous, love the line. As far as my colour palette for this fall goes, I'm sticking to neutrals and adding shades of red and green and maybe others too in terms of accessories.

i love the pairing :)
LOVE those black and red gloves. HOT! As for hair, I have been using Ojon, but it has a very acquired smell. I also really like Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Treatment.
Those red pants and the striped shirt! Oh my! I love...may have to invest in some for the fall.

I seriously want this outfit! Love the red pants.
My fall shopping palette had a lot of orange, burgandy, and espresso. I am almost done I just need to get like 4 more pairs of shoes... Home decor is nothing like fashion, it's all about maximizing space and incorporating colours...I haven't a clue on how to decorate my mom picked everything out in my condo!
wonderful pairing! beyond wonderful, Mary Jo! the clutch is for me :-) hugs
I have not heard of him before...thank you for the discovery! Love his art! xx
you've translated very well the inspiration into the outfit! :)
Love Leger, he was so talented.
It's a really great inspiration. Nice post as always.
Mine is shaping up to be browns and golden.
And i always have to have red in my closet.
