Style Imitating Art…
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! I selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to me by Tuesday, November 18th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
I chose this piece by using ChatGPT. I keep coming across the term, Fauvism, I don’t know anything about it, and what I have read, I don’t understand. So, I asked for famous painters who were Fauvists. And, there you have it!

I know the term and I’m almost sure I watched a documentary about it, but so long ago that I really don’t remember anything.
Looking forward to your interpretation (and explanation!).
Thanks, Cat! I hope I can figure it out. It seems several people know about it and understand it. Hopefully, I will, too, after this week!
Not a term that I have heard of, but this is very colourful.
Thank you, Rosie! Isn’t it amazing? I don’t know that I’d hang it in my house, but it is gorgeous!
It certainly wasn’t a flattering term given to artists like Matisse and Derain but their work definitely was different from others of the time.
Thanks, Joanne! It seems many already know Fauvism. I have come across it in researching other pieces, but I didn’t really understand it. I hope to learn more this week.
Choosing Derain, one of the members of Les Fauves or “the wild beasts” is a wonderful choice for your art in fashion day. The pure, bright colors make it almost like the 1980s revisited!
Thank you, Allison! It sounds like you, as well as Nancy, know a bit about Fauvism. I can’t wait to dig in a little deeper. I am excited about the look I”m going to share!
Fauvisme is the use of bright colours with sturdy brushes. I like that style, it’s modern and controlled, although it doesn’t look like it. Great painting.
Thank you, Nancy! Do you have any pieces by Fauvist painters? I already know what I’m going to wear! I’m glad you like the painting, too!
