| book description |

An extraordinary look at how the style of Piet Mondrianâ€™s abstract paintings was posthumously appropriated by 1960s fashion, Pop art, and consumer culture. Yves Saint Laurentâ€™s 1965 Mondrian dresses are among the twentieth centuryâ€™s most celebrated and recognizable fashions, but the context of their creation involves much more than meets the eye. In Mondrianâ€™s Dress, Nancy J. Troy and Ann Marguerite Tartsinis offer a fresh approach to the coupling of Piet Mondrianâ€™s interwar paintings with Saint Laurentâ€™s couture designs byÂ exposingÂ the rampant merchandising and commodification that these works experienced in the 1960s. The authors situate the consolidation of Saint Laurentâ€™s fashion brand alongside the work of such Pop artists as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann, and show how conventional understandings of Mondrianâ€™s avant-garde abstractions were transformed by the mass circulation of his signature style.Â Beyond itsÂ attention toÂ 1960s fashion, Pop art, and consumer culture, Mondrianâ€™s Dress offers critical assessments of Saint Laurentâ€™s so-called dialogue with art, the remarkable art collection that he built with his partner Pierre Berge, and the crucialÂ role that photography plays in the marketing of couture. The first book-length study of its kind, Mondrianâ€™s Dress is a provocative reevaluation of how art, commerce, and fashion became fundamentally intertwined in the postwar period.
