Art Farts: Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse
LACMA is one of my favorite museums to visit. Every season there are several exhibits that I just must visit. This season, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the McQueen exhibit. I’ve always loved how he combined fashion and elements from nature to create his art.
From LACMA’s website:
One of the most significant contributors to fashion between 1990 and 2010, Lee Alexander McQueen (London, 1969–2010) was both a conceptual and technical virtuoso. His critically acclaimed collections synthesized the designer’s proficiency in tailoring and dressmaking with both encyclopedic and autobiographical references that spanned time, geography, media, and technology. The first McQueen exhibition on the West Coast, Lee Alexander McQueen: Mind, Mythos, Muse contextualizes the designer’s imaginative work within a canon of artmakers who drew upon analogous themes and visual references. Exploring imagination, artistic process, and innovation in fashion and art, the exhibition examines the interdisciplinary impulse that defined the designer’s career. Displaying select McQueen garments from the Collection of Regina J. Drucker alongside artworks largely from LACMA’s permanent collection, Mind, Mythos, Muse presents a case study of the designer’s methods and influences, and in doing so, provides the opportunity to better understand artistic legacy and cycles of inspiration.
I hope you enjoy the exhibit through my eyes. And if you want to see it through your own eyes, it’s on display through October 9thl
