Art historian Hollander points out some of the ways Western artists used garments and draperies as expressive elements in paintings, from the middle of the fifteen century to the middle of the
twentieth, the Renaissance, the Neoclassic, the eighteenth century, and the beginning of the modern twentieth century. Essays describe the influence and evolution through the ages of dress and
drapery, show how painters have made dress and drapery come alive in pictures, sharpening the viewer’s eyes in order to perceive them with insight, comprehension and feeling, in art and in
life. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
