Tuesday October 2nd 1:00-8:00pm with evening lectures and panel 6-8pm
“Fashion has longtime been an influence on artists and their paintings, as have historical master works in turn influenced many fashion designers throughout the ages. From the gold embroidered folds on the dresses found in Waterhouse’s paintings, to the top hats the Dandy's wear in the Impressionist works by Caillebotte, couture in paintings not only shows us what the styles were in at the time, but reminds us that clothing itself can often be a "work of art" and a form of expression. Combining top contemporary realist paintings from around the globe with one of a kind creations by current fashion designers and a bespoke shoe maker, this exciting new exhibition aims to celebrate the long time inspiring relationship of fine art and fashion.” Explains the curator Vanessa Françoise Rothe.

Bespoke Shoes created by Francis Waplinger confirmed. Fashion Designers creating works for the exhibit and Designers on panel TBD.
The exhibition will consist of a very fine collection of approximately twenty five one of a kind oil paintings by top contemporary realist painters who were inspired by the world of fashion.

"Fine Art and Fashion" will take place in the famous Salmagundi Art Club patrons gallery and glamorous parlor on 5th avenue in Greenwich village where, for the last 100 years, fine artists, screen writers, authors, poets and creatives have met to exhibit and discuss their work . One of the country’s oldest and most respected art organizations is the perfect host for this current and important exhibition combining the worlds of fine art and fashion. The hollowed halls once graced by Winston Churchill, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Childe Hassam, will serve as the perfect backdrop for the works and discussions and has always played a vital role in helping the American public develop a greater understanding and appreciation of art.

RECENT EXHIBITION
MAY 2018 VRFA EXHIBITIONS in LA and PARIS
Join us for our upcoming Bi Continental Exhibitions and Events
"AMERICANS IN PARIS"
• May 12th at Arcadia Contemporary LOS ANGELES, CA
• May 24th at Galerie L'Oeil du Prince PARIS, FRANCE
'AMERICANS IN PARIS' EXHIBITIONS AND FINE ART EVENTS
Fifteen well known American Realists/Impressionists are currently creating a collection of new works inspired by Paris, the capitol of art, cuisine and fashion. Two sets of paintings will be created, one for Arcadia Contemporary and one set for Galerie L'Oeil du Prince.
Artists Include: Jeremy Lipking, Casey Baugh, Ryan Brown, Micheal Klein, Vincent Xeus, Michelle Dunaway, Olga Krimon, Vanessa Rothe, Julio Reyes, Candice Bohannon, Casey Childs, Joshua La Rock, Katie Whipple, Brendan Johnston, Nicolas Martin, Alex Venezia and more.
Many of the artists in fact traveled to Paris May 2017 thru the Paris Seminar. There we painted together, learned about group figure composition, studied the masters in person at the top Museums, traced the footsteps of great American artists who painted in Paris and gleaned how literature can play a role in inspire great paintings. This rare voyage aimed to re created some of the late 1800s where artists such as the Impressionists often painted together and created exhibitions together, influencing one another.
The two Bi Continental exhibitions, one in Los Angeles California, and one in Paris France, will present their finished works as a group and may include on location studies along side to show the inspirational process. These exciting new works will include: self portraits, still life's, landscapes, figures, and city scapes. The works will all have a link to a Paris based inspiration that will be called out on the wall placard explaining the influence. Weather they were inspired by historical American Artists who spent time painting in Paris such as CHASE, SARGENT, or by a French novel they read (Flaubert, Rousseau, Baudelaire perhaps?) a museum they visited and its walls or history, French decadent Interiors, Parisian fashion, or by one particular painting they saw in person there its color harmony, application of paint, or genre.
All Exhibitions are open to the public ...and if you are interested in joining us in LA or Paris for our special "Collectors Events", on May 12th during the day and evening in LA, and May 23rd- 26th in Paris, please contact us. Merci-
