Free Day:
The designer Dior is known quite well, some of his most iconic designs are illustrated by Rene Gruau. Gruau's illustrations are landmarks as far as fashion concerned. They are minimal yet radiate luxury. The exhibit consisted of the illustrations from Diors numerous perfumes over the years. While a small exhibit it was truly lovely.
After seeing Gruau, I wandered over to the Cezanne exhibit of "The Card Player" series, along with some other impression and post impressionist faves including Degas and Van Gogh. I can take or leave Cezanne, but Degas always has a warm place in my heart.
After impressionism I saw some photos of Joy Division taken by Kevin Cummins. Joy Division highly popular during the late 70's early 80'. Cummins worked for NME (New Music Express) a UK based music magazine, and is known for his photos of famous and well as infamous artists of the time; including The Smiths, The Clash and The Buzzcoks.
