Cézanne Flower Bouquet Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A multi-coloured Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf derived from the work Bouquet of Flowers (1879-80) by the French painter Paul Cézanne (1839-1906).

Cézanne's still life paintings are characterised by their structural integrity, innovative use of colour and perspective, and a delicate balance between naturalism and abstraction. These qualities make his work a pivotal contribution to the evolution of modern art.

He often employed multiple perspectives within a single painting, breaking away from the traditional single viewpoint, a technique that created a more complex and engaging visual experience. While his works are rooted in the observation of nature, Cézanne's approach abstracts and simplifies forms balancing between naturalism and abstraction, a method that influenced later movements such as Cubism.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
