Known as “Antonio” in the fashion world, Antonio Lopez electrified the fashion art scene in the 60s, 70s and 80s. His vibrant illustrations ushered in a new youth culture in fashion magazines. He was a “force majeur”, mixing the worlds of designer fashion with art, kitsch, break dancing and street culture. He liberated fashion imagery with free flowing, sexually charged drawings. His work appeared in the New York Times, Vogue and Elle magazines and he illustrated for Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Norma Kamali, Missoni, and Anna Sui. His work is richly detailed, expressively vivid and of heroic proportions and poses. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by the ‘80s AIDS epidemic; he died at the young age of 44. A book, Antonio Lopez: Fashion, Art, Sex, Disco chronicles his life's work which is now highly recognizable and collectible. This 1985 print originally came from a magazine. It features a fashion illustration for a Missoni line of mens' fashion. It showcases a sweater and jacket set in strong colorful plaid of orange, blue and green tones. It is cutting edge. This image has a "break dancing" motif with strong motion, emotion and energy. It captures the essence of Antonio and will bring “life” into any décor. Strong and provocative. Excellent condition. Signed in lower left. 8 x 10 inches in size. Comes matted in a white 16 x 20 inch custom mat that is ready for standard size frame.
