Art for Arts Sake..."l'art pour l'art"


There is something peaceful and serene about wandering around an art gallery and looking at the works of great Masters. Trouble is...they are spread all over the world. What if you could have them all in one place for a little bit...and look on them at your leisure. Alone in the gallery...no crowds.
 

Well, that's not likely to happen is it. So the next best thing is to grab this set of Masters, masterfully created by the Ghee designers, to exhibit your own living wearable art. Don a Monet or a DaVinci and show off your cultural side to your friends...and look fashionable while you do it!


There are 10 great artists available in this set; exclusive to 68 Main Event. Here are a few to get your taste buds tingling...and yes, my favourite is the Matisse...but I love cats as much as I love colour...but to quote E.A Bucchianeri;  “Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone will have their own interpretation.”

A little about the artists for the items worn...if your interested.

Daybreak


Maxfield Parrish: Born 25July 1870  and died 30 March 1966 aged 95 was an American painter and illustrator active in the first half of the 20th century. He is known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery. He achieved his unique style by the use of glazing. The colour Parrish Blue is named after him. His most famous work is Daybreak, produced in 1923, featuring female figures in a landscape scene.

Le chat aux poissons rouges  (The Cat with Red Fish)
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse: A French artist born 31 December 1869 and died 3 November 1954 aged 84, was an artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a good friend of Picasso and known for his colourful art and sculptures. He had a love of cats but rarely used them in his paintings.

Japanese Bridge  













Oscar-Claude Monet: Born14 November 1840  and died 5 December 1926, aged 86, was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, and landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (impression, sunrise) which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates.
