A Summer-Fall Transition Outfit for SIA Hilma af Klint
Marsha at Marsha in the Middle is the curator for this round of Style Imitating Art (SIA), and she selected 1907 painting "The Ten Largest, No. 7, Adulthood" by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint. She chose this artwork because she wanted to find something different from her "pretty" norm for this challenge. Though she wasn't familiar with the artist or this work prior to some Internet searching, she liked that it was unlike anything she's presented before. Source: marshainthe
