Liberty, Donna Karan, Chris Benz

Large gestural paint strokes evoke freedom of expression and movement.  Donna Karan’s take was inspired by Haitian art, while Chris Benz takes on a more whimsical and playful tone, reminiscent of Tsimori Chisato.  These reminded me a lot of the work of abstract expressionist Robert Motherwell.
