Welcome to Style Imitating Art. I hope you’re visit means you’re planning to join us, because we’d definitely love to have you…
ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART
Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}, Kim {Fierce Fashion Blog}, and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art inspired outfits. And that Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.
THE CURATOR
This week’s image was chosen by Salazar.
INSPIRATION ART WORK
Salazar chose this image because she “…thought I’d take this opportunity to honor a black artist. So I decided to pick Kehinde Wiley, who is best known for painting the portrait of President Obama. His works all feature black people usually posed in the style of Old Masters, against gorgeously intricate backgrounds of foliage, flowers, and other designs.”
