Style Imitating Art…
It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, 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, May 19th 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 keep hearing and seeing the word, Expressionism (usually with German in front of it), and I don’t know what that is. So, I went looking for an Expressionist. And, I found this delightful painting by August Macke. It’s definitely giving me Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte vibes. I hope you find it inspirational and decide to join us!

Ah, but you had an Expressionist in an SIA before (Nolde).
I like this painting a lot more and can’t wait to see what you will be doing with it.
Oops…I should have caught that, but it didn’t register! And, we just did him. Oh, well, I want to learn more about Expressionism! And, I like this painting!
That was 1 1/2 years ago, not “just”. I just thought you could use some of the things you researched then to make it easier! Macke painted beautiful pictures, I’m glad you picked this one.
Oh, thanks for the reminder! The research takes me forever!
That’s the kind of art that I love!
Thanks, Nancy! I knew you would love it!
I hope I manage to take part in this one because it’s a gorgeous painting! I love the colours!
Big hugs

Thanks, Suzy! I hope you join us, too! I still have to figure mine out!
