Balenciaga Noir at the Paris Bourdelle . . . Continued

 As promised in that teaser of a "postcard" I sent you earlier from our visit to the sumptuous Balenciaga exhibition in Paris' Musée Bourdelle, here (finally) are more images for you. I apologise for the combined limitations of my photographic skills, the iphone camera (which is pretty good overall, for what it is), the black garments, the museum lighting, and the reflective surfaces of the glass cases and windows. Still, I think you might enjoy having a wander through the show with me. . .

And I've decided I won't distract you with much accompanying chatter today.

It's another busy week here (an out-of-town friend visited yesterday; Pater and had a long bike ride on Monday, have some kayaking planned for later today and a canoe outing tomorrow!), and besides, I don't think my words are any match for Balenciaga's brilliance.

Speaking of brilliance. . . .

See below, the text I've photographed which explains a bit about the Spanish designer's heritage and the way that influenced his use of black, the way he played with the differences between its matte and its sheen qualities in different fabrics and materials.

I've also included a few photos that try to give you a sense of how marvellous it is to see couture displayed against sculpture, to see it exhibited as another form of art. (You might want to look back at my posts on the Mme. Grès couture exhibit in this same Musée Bourdelle a few years ago (here, here, and here) or at my posts on the Azzedine Alaia exhibition at Rome's Borghese Gallery (a second post here -- wow! my hair was short there/then!). The interplay between sculpture and couture makes me wish for more shows like this.

But that's all I'm going to say for now. Feel free to ask any questions about the exhibit, although I'm not sure I'll be able to answer -- I did pick up the (smaller, less weighty) catalogue of the exhibition, so I have more information here for the digging. . . .

Isn't this back sublime? If only I could walk away so elegantly. . . .

Elegant or not, here I go, though. Hope you've enjoyed this little tour -- I have photos enough for at least one more post, and the next one will feature Balenciaga's sketches, which were really a treat to see.
Now, over to you. Comments, please. . . .
