Art historical (denim) discovery? The Master of the Blue Jeans….
Canesso Gallery in Paris will unveil a series of 17th-century Italian works this September that deal in all things denim. The gallery states that curator Gerlinde Gruber of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, has discovered the painter whose subjects wear a fetching denim-like material, hence the catchy exhibition title: The Master of the Blue Jeans. “The group of paintings attributed to [the artist] include the recurring presence of a blue cloth, whose white thread weave shows the typical structure of Genoese fabric; its place of origin [Genoa] led to the modern designation of jeans,” states the gallery.
