Dress and fashion are central to our understanding of art. From the stylization of the body to subtle textile embellishments and richly symbolic colors, dress tells a story and provides clues as to the cultural beliefs of the time in which artworks were produced. This concise and accessible book provides a step-by-step guide to analysing dress in art, including paintings, photographs, drawings and art installations.
The first section of the book includes an introduction to visual analysis and explains how to 'read' fashion and dress in an artwork using the checklists. The second section offers case studies which demonstrate how artworks can be analysed from the point of view of key themes including status and identity, modernity, ideals of beauty, gender, race, globalization and politics. The book includes iconic as well as lesser known works of art, including work by Elisabeth Vig e le Brun, Thomas Gainsborough, James Jacques Tissot, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, Yinka Shonibare, Mickalene Thomas, Kent Monkman and many others. Reading Fashion in Art is the perfect text for students of fashion coming to art history for the first time as well as art history students studying dress in art and will be an essential handbook for any gallery visitor. The step-by-step methodology helps the reader learn to look at any work of art that includes the dressed or undressed body and confidently develop a critical analysis of what they see.Binding Type: Paperback

Colossal Compendium Volume Six is Cool
Format: Paperback
Written by a 16 year old
My mom pre-ordered this for me on June 26th, because I was trying to get all of the colossal compendiums that are out so far. Eventually, it was delivered to me seven days later on the day it came out (July 3rd), and I was hyped. Now I have all of the first six colossal compendiums.
Overall, this is a really nice compilation comic book, like the first five colossal compendiums. I enjoy all the stories in this volume, along with the paper craft King Toot's Music Store.
I also love how this volume's cover continues the journey of Homer trying to get his donut from Santa's Little Helper as more characters show up. I can't wait for Colossal Compendium Volume Seven next year if it is announced.
Before you buy, here is the list of stories that are featured in this volume:
The Book of Jobs (from Simpsons Comics 223)
If You Could See What I Smell (from Simpsons Comics 231)
Game On! (from Simpsons Comics 230)
The Left Behinders! (from The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror 21)
The Radioactive Man Christmas Special! (from Simpsons Winter Wingding 9)
Splotchmen (from Simpsons Super Spectacular 13)
Debt Be Not Proud (from Simpsons Comics 213)
Scent of a Baby (from Maggie 1)
Have Bodybag, Will Travel (McBain 1)
Donut Detectives (from Simpsons Comics 230)
Monty's Morphin' Power Wranglers (from Simpsons Comics 212)
Li'l Homer in Fish Story (from Li'l Homer 1)
