art and legacy of Rene Gruau
This lens is about legacy of Rene Gruau. His unique style shaped fashion illustration for decades and he represented the last gold period of fashion illustration before fashion photography and then digital art became the main tool visual expression in fashion. On this lens I will present my findings on the web: images , links to articles and books available about Rene Gruau.
I am a fashion illustrator myself and I teach fashion illustration and stylized drawing at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale ( you can see my fashion illustration and costume drawing at www.fashion-accent.com
and at www.artdesignivanova.com
) so my interest in Rene Gruau is of professional nature. I would recommend to all fashion illustrators and those who are studying fashion illustration, or just love fashion illustration for any reasons to learn as much as it is possible about Rene Gruau.
My goal is to organize web resources with Rene Gruau's artwork and materials about Rene Gruau ( studies, articles, research) in one user friendly web portal. Only squidoo today is offering such efficient tool for integrating different resources available on the web into one web spot. So… thank you Squidoo and long live Rene Gruau!!!!
