This book can be read through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.The historiography of the Great War has been significantly renewed in recent years; yet, despite its crucial social, economic, and cultural importance, the role that fashion played in shaping wartime experiences and economies on an international scale between 1914 and 1918 has largely gone unaddressed. Fashion, Society, and the First World War fills this gap by offering a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the war on the ways that the fashion industry functioned in a global wartime economy, as well as on the ways that women and men negotiated this new world.With an international, thematic approach, and illustrated in full color throughout, this volume discusses the reconfiguration of the fashion industry, wartime style and production, and the reframing of selfhood, gender roles, and national identity through visual, print and material culture. Through analysis of archives, visual chronicles, press, and garments, and covering an impressive range of topics, from the feathered showgirl in Paris to the evolution of pilots' uniforms, these exciting essays show how fashion, even temporarily, encouraged the articulation of an identity, a society, and a nation.Fashion, Society, and the First World War provides an extensive overview by leading fashion historians on an industry in the midst of major transformation and is both an invaluable guide and starting point for all researchers, curators, and students interested in fashion history and the cultural history of the period.

Visste du att en astronomiprofessor drog slutsatsen att Monet målade Impression, Soleil Levant den 13 november 1872 klockan 07:35? Att namnet på "Moulin de la Galette-bollen" kommer från de galetter som serverades där? Att Monets kvarnstenar orsakade en verklig konstnärlig chock för Kandinsky och att Manet inte deltog i någon impressionistisk utställning?

Discover how the color pink evolved from a symbol of innocence and frivolity to a powerful vehicle for artistic play, ambiguity, and subversion.Long associated with delicacy and sentiment, pink has also been used to express grandeur, sensuality, irony, and rebellion. This richly illustrated volume explores how the meaning and function of pink have changed across cultures and centuries— from Sassetta’s Renaissance saints and Boucher’s idyllic visions to the dreamlike florals of O’Keeffe and the saturated islands of Christo and Jeanne-Claude.Readers will encounter pink as a mark of divine humility in religious paintings by El Greco and Pontormo; as a signal of luxury and desire in the flirtatious scenes of Fragonard and the refined elegance of Boucher; and as a radical material in modern and contemporary works by Paul Signac, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Takashi Murakami. The book is organized around forty artworks that each feature pink in a striking or significant way.Arranged loosely in chronological order, each entry pairs a full-page image with a short, insightful essay that reveals how artists used pink—through pigment, and depictions of clothing, light, and flesh—to shape meaning and mood. Throughout, timelines, maps, and sidebars offer cultural context and historical depth, including a vivid chart of historically and poetically named pinks—from cuisse de nymphe and rose bonbon to vieux rose and rose vineux—that reflect the color’s remarkable expressive range.Visually layered and full of unexpected connections, Pink invites readers to look again at a color too often dismissed—and to see how it has illuminated, disguised, and transformed works of art for centuries.
