The neoclassical style of clothing - often referred to as robe aÌ la grecque, empire style, or "undress" - is marked by a sheer, white, high-waisted muslin dress worn with minimal undergarments, often accessorized with a cashmere shawl. This style represented a dramatic departure from that of previous decades and was short lived: by the 1820s, corsets, silks, and hoop skirts were back in fashion. Amelia Rauser investigates this sudden transformation and argues that women styled themselves as living statues, artworks come to life, an aesthetic and philosophical choice intertwined with the experiments and innovations of artists working in other media during the same period. Although neoclassicism is often considered a cold, rational, and masculine movement, Rauser's analysis shows that it was actually deeply passionate, with women at its core - as ideals and allegories, as artistic agents, and as important patrons. 505 0 $a Drape -- Transparency -- High-waistedness -- Whiteness -- Lightness. 650 0 $a Women's clothing $z Europe $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $z Europe $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Fashion and art $x History $y 18th century. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030730.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014926.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406015121.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201103012949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA25C0ECA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
