ARTWORK TO BE USED

Thierry Mugler | Haute Couture Autumn/Winter (1997-1998) by Les Arts Décoratifs

Requirements: 2 pages

Answer preview

Therefore, women’s empowerment can be expressed through art; there is more than meets the eye. The haute couture by Mugler is not just a piece of art to be seen and marveled at, but it is a representation of women’s empowerment. The incredible haute couture was created at a time when the artist faced much criticism for the kind of materials he used for producing his art. However, instead of backing down, Bugler produced this controversial haute couture to depict his feminist support. Forms of art, whether painting, music or play, can be used to relay a message of empowerment and support for a good course (Jones 24). The use of women in art must be purely for conveying an educative, historical, or cultural message to avoid facing criticism from feminists.
