His ongoing exploration of shape and form incessantly pushed the boundaries of his creativity and led to his most groundbreaking and iconic designs. His works were influenced by the artistic trends of the time--from simple and geometric abstraction to constructivism and concrete art--whose many movements mirror the multifaceted talent of the designer. A bold, exacting gesture underpinned his art: his minimalist dresses were often monochromatic compositions seemingly sprung from a single line. A colorist, he imagined pure yet exuberant abstract designs by combining flat surfaces in vibrant hues. Transposing pictorial material onto textiles, he thus balanced color, form, surface, and line. An illusionist, he would juxtapose black and white to suggest movement in the garment through optical illusion. By using flat, simple lines, shape prevailed over color. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume accompanies an exhibition, \u003ci\u003eYves Saint Laurent: Shapes and Forms\u003c\/i\u003e, at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris from June 9, 2023, to January 14, 2024, which features key pieces from the Yves Saint Laurent archives in dialogue with the set design and works by ceramic artist Claudia Wieser.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsa Janssen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flammarion-Pere Castor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.91w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782080430526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElsa Janssen\u003c\/b\u003e is director and \u003cb\u003eSerena Bucalo-Mussely\u003c\/b\u003e is head of collections at the Mus?e Yves Saint Laurent Paris. \u003cb\u003eC?cile Bargues \u003c\/b\u003eis an art historian and curator. \u003cb\u003eJulien Fronsacq \u003c\/b\u003eis an art critic and chief curator and deputy director at MAMCO.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flammarion-Pere Castor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":42786442772595,"sku":"9.78208E+12","price":50.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b165f205-e154-4e26-a08b-9a80ca4125ab.jpg?v=1737463910","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/yves-saint-laurent-form-and-fashion-9782080430526","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
