Designer Yves Saint Laurent was influenced by art of all styles and periods. He admired contemporary artists, found ideas from art history books, and collected all types of art. He drew from these influences to perfect his own designs. Use this guide and map to find works of art in VMFA’s galleries that closely mirror six ensembles from Saint Laurent’s career. Sketch your own designs inspired by works of art in the galleries, using the “swatches” and “collection boards” to experiment with color and texture.
