Tête-à-tête: Art and Fashion from the SCAD Museum of Art Permanent Collection

Jan 12, 2016 - Jan 31, 2016
SCAD Museum of Art presents “Tête-à-tête: Art and Fashion from the SCAD Museum of Art Permanent Collection,” a series of intimate aesthetic “conversations” across media. Artworks and garments of historical and contemporary importance are paired to illustrate how inspiration transcends time and disciplines. These featured works share color, texture, technique or imagery. For example, Beauford Delaney’s bright, gestural “Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald” (1968) is paired with a gold Mainbocher brocade gown of the same decade. 


“Tête-à-tête” captures artists Chakaia Booker, Salvador Dalí, William Etty, Angelo Filomeno, Nicholas Hlobo, Jacob Lawrence, Marisol, Wangechi Mutu, Nelson A. Primus, Paul Sandby, Alma Thomas, Andy Warhol and Carrie Mae Weems in an imagined dialogue with the designers Stephen Burrows, Coco Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, Miuccia Prada, Paco Rabanne, Ralph Rucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Vera Wang.
