art inspired: paul gauguin, day of the gods
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Paul Gauguin chucked his career as a Paris stockbroker to move half way around the world and live in a hut in Tahiti, but historians claim that his life was not nearly as wild or exotic as Gauguin's fusion of modern shapes with primitive colors and subjects depicted. When you look at his work, does it really matter if his bright and mystical world was real or imagined?
Today's art inspired fashion post is full of bright and happy separates that would all work as statement pieces with the plainest of ensembles...then again, if you're in the mood to turn heads they'd look great meshed together. Are you in a rainbow state of mind this January?
McQueen Electric Blue Leather Biker Jacket; Bottega Veneta platform sandals; Dolce & Gabbana Rainbow chiffon print dress; Marc by Marc Jacobs PC Tablet case; Bottega Veneta bag; YSL rouge lipstick; Heather Moore necklace; Maui Jim sunglasses.

Wow that dress is amazing...and his life sounds pretty cool to me. Ha. I could go for a hut in Tahiti right now!
I love being transported to beautiful Tahiti by Gauguin's paintings and I love these bright and happy separates. I'm definitely in a rainbow state of mind right now. I just put on a top that is black, cream, red, pink, turquoise and yellow. It's not as crazy as it sounds I swear :)
i love everything in that set.. they're all beautiful and perfect combination!!!

These pieces feel like a rainbow! Fitting the artwork very well. I'm sort of in a pastel rainbow mood for decorating my home office ;)
I am always in a rainbow state of mind, especially in January's grey London

I suppose artists will always imprint something of how they see reality in their work. I'm a huge fan of his. And of that McQueen clutch! Want!
Love Maui Jim sunglasses! Also loving that pc case from Marc Jacobs. That's the best one I think I've seen. From Brooklyn with love ~jen
Love that D&G dress! I'd wear it in a heartbeat, but I'd probably wear everything they make.
Such a gorgeous dress!!!!! I love the shoes, too. I'm looking for something similar, just to add a pop of colour to my outfits, especially when the spring is finally here. x

I love Paul Gauguin, he was so talented.
