mondrian’s dress

The book Mondrian’s Dress by Nancy J. Troy and Ann Marguerite Tartsinis has been released and it features Michael Barnaart’s Mondrian dress!

Over the past decade, Michael has been in regular contact with Nancy J. Troy. She is an art professor at Stanford University in California. For her research, they talked about his views on Mondrian’s legacy and the role of his Mondrian designs. The book Mondrian’s Dress offers a fresh look at the combination of Piet Mondrian’s work with Yves Saint Laurent’s 1965 Mondrian dresses. The publication is a provocative reassessment of how art, fashion and consumer culture became fundamentally intertwined after the war.
