From the ancient world to pop art, Yves Saint Laurent regularly took inspiration from art history as he combined colours, carved out new forms and rethought the structure of garments in order to create his own masterpieces.
Juxtaposing his creations with art works from the collections of five major Paris institutions – the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris and the Musée National Picasso – this book explores the couturier’s homages to the masters of art and his never-ending quest for new means of aesthetic expression. Androgynous silhouettes and Proustian gowns stand alongside the elegance of Impressionism; a feathered coat responds to Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings; flowing silhouettes merge with a mural by Raoul Dufy; Lucio Fontana’s neon lights make metallic fabrics sparkle; and bold appliqué motifs echo The Dance by Henri Matisse. This is an unforgettable journey through art history with Yves Saint Laurent as a guide.

Can't believe I managed to finish this, after the Mammon piece this has been one of my most challeging projects so far.

D'unar-i belongs to a type of yautja that thrive mainly in deserts, canyons and harsh temperatures, that live on their own after reaching adulthood.
Kajiy has a tendency to train on extreme environments on his own, when he doesn't have any mission with Rak'ne group.
Unfortunately this is the result his father's harsh training and Kajiy still pushes himself too hard, to follow impossible expectations.
It was during one of these hunts Kajiy and D'unar-i met.
D'unar-i was resting when he heard the sound of a distressed yautja and the screeching of a desert isopod, right out of his hide out, and he-i didn't hesitate to come out and help the newcomer, slaying the beast.
Indeed he was surprised to see a jungle type yautja hunting so far away from his territory, but D'unar-i quickly gave a helping hand to Kajiy.
Kajiy was highly suspicious and growly at first, but the wounds he received from the creature made him rely on D'unar-i for a bit, exhausted also by the temperatures and torrid air.
The desert yautja didn't mind the sudden company, happy to have someone to talk to and break the silence of his solitary den.

‘I’m nineteen, but so what? I’ve had experiences, too. A lot of my songs are about my own traumas. The best time for writing is when you’re going through a heavy time. You have an enormous amount of energy. The best way to deal with it is not to bottle it up or take it out on someone else, but to channel it into your writing.’
-Kate Bush, Record Mirror, 25 February 1978.

Here's part of an activity you'll find in the book – with instructions removed, because this one's not quite just a free-form coloring page. Can't wait for you to see the rest of the piece!
(All sneak peeks so far: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
