This 1969 vintage lingerie print is by the iconic Antonio Lopez! It originally appeared as a fashion advertisement in a French periodical. Known as “Antonio” in the fashion world, Antonio Lopez electrified the fashion art scene in the 60s, 70s and 80s. His vibrant illustrations ushered in a new youth culture in fashion magazines. He was a “force majeur”, mixing the worlds of designer clothing with art, kitsch, break dancing and street culture. He liberated fashion imagery with free flowing, sexually charged drawings. His work appeared in the New York Times, Vogue and Elle magazines and he illustrated for Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Norma Kamali, Missoni, and Anna Sui. His work is richly detailed, expressively vivid and of heroic proportions and poses. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by the ‘80s AIDS epidemic; he died at the young age of 44. Recently, he has been remembered in a new book, Antonio Lopez: Fashion, Art, Sex, Disco. His work is now highly recognizable and collectible. This 1969 lingerie fashion print captures the essence of Antonio. Will bring “life” into any décor. Strong and provocative. Excellent condition. Original to 1969. This is NOT a recent reproduction print. 7.75 x 10.5 inches in size. Will come matted in a neutral tone custom 16 x 20 inch mat that is ready for standard size frame. Please allow time for custom matting. See less
