The Art of Lingerie on Nude Paintings


Lingerie is always in style and is an important foundation for the well dressed woman. The French and Italians place great importance on beautiful lingerie. Americans tend to invest in generic and functional pieces. For this blog I use lingerie as an art statement and color trend forecast for 2012.

Here are the original nude paintings before their lingerie makeover shown with fashion color boards for 2012.





The model in this painting in the style of Richard Diebenkorn, is wearing a two piece bra and thong set from Rien of France lingerie. The bold lines compliment the clean structural color blocks of the painting. Color blocking is a 2012 fashion trend.



This Lichtenstein nude is now dressed in Agent Provacateur Emenuell black with red lace bra and panty. Chosen for the open lace work, this bra set mimics the print dots used by the artist and the dark red a 2012 fashion color.



A Monica Fallini line sketch of a nude lent itself to Agent Provocateur. Here I chose the Thora Suspender Brief with red topped stockings. The simplicity of the gray brief a trend color, and red stockings kept the purity of the line drawing in tact.




In this Helga Sachse acrylic nude, the see -thru frothy mint bra and panty from the Nina Collection of Simone Perele of France picked up the sheer colors in the painting. Green is a trend color for interiors.




For this nude canvas painted by Amadeo Modigliani, the bra and panty selection from the Explosive Collection of Rien of France lingerie slipped onto the painting as if always there . The cut angles, stripes, and velvet texture played off of the claret color background of the model, a trending color for next season.




Raphael's Three Graces model a selection of La Perla lingerie. It has been said the Graces represent three types of women. From the virgin on the left, to the wiser experienced woman on the right. The overall colors in this classic painting employ shades of the entire 2012 color palette.
