Before Balenciaga was known for chunky sneakers and ironic renditions of IKEA bags, there was its namesake, Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga \u2013 one of the world\u2019s greatest couturiers, affectionately named \u201cel Maestro\u201d. He was the designer that fashion luminaries, like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior, tipped their hats to. Although his creations have been trusted go-tos for high-profile women of the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century, not that much is known about the man himself \u2013 as he only gave a handful of interviews during his relatively short, yet immensely influential, 30-year reign over the fashion world from Paris.

\u201cNot everything that is painted is art and not every garment is art,\u201d said de la Pera at the press conference for the show\u2019s opening. \u201cBut Balenciaga had a conceptual base. He had a creative process the same as any painter.\u201d\u00a0 Beginning his career assisting his mother in her work as a seamstress for local noblewomen, by the age of 12 the Getaria-born designer began work as an apprentice tailor, spending many hours in the home of his patroness, the Marchioness of Casa Torres, who owned one of the best collections of Spanish art at the time. Incredibly, the exhibition opens with four masterpieces a young Balenciaga would have come across in his work for the Marchioness, including paintings\u00a0 by Diego Vel\u00e1zquez, Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, El Greco and Francisco de Goya.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":78003,"id":78003,"title":"PAREJA 1_GRND","filename":"PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","filesize":226341,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/balenciaga-spanish-art-history\/pareja-1_grnd\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"pareja-1_grnd","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":78002,"date":"2019-06-27 08:27:34","modified":"2019-06-27 08:49:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1100,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":94,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1100,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1100,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1100,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1100,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1100,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-1_GRND-e1561625371144.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1100}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"L: Francisco de Goya, \"Cardinal Luis Maria de Borb\u00f3n y Vallabriga\", Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid \u00a9 Archivo Fotografico Museo Nacional del Prado\r\nR: Dress and jacket outfit, satin dress; satin jacket with metallic thread, sequins and ceramic beads.

While it may seem like a stretch to connect ornate oil paintings that were made well before Balenciaga\u2019s time to his elegant couture confections that defined the mid-20th century, it is difficult to look at Goya\u2019s <\/span>Cardinal Luis Maria de Borb\u00f3n y Vallabriga <\/span><\/i>(c.1800), which hung in Vista Ona Palace next to a \u201860s Balenciaga dress and not see the parallels.\u00a0 Both pieces share crucial elements: a deep crimson shade of red; a tiered silhouette punctuated with silver embellishments; an emphasised waist finished with a cropped, oversized layer. But this would not be the last time clerical attire, through the prism of different Spanish masters, would leave visible traces on Balenciaga\u2019s gowns.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Queen Fabiola of Belgium\u2019s wedding in 1960, the descendent of the Marchioness of Casa Torres came to Balenciaga for a wedding dress that would make her a queen. This time, the Spanish couturier turned to Francisco de Zurbar\u00e1n\u2019s 1628 <\/span>Fray Francisco Z\u00famel<\/span><\/i> for inspiration. Using the simplistic tailoring of the white friar robes, he created a mink-trimmed satin gown for the monarch-to-be. \u201cQueen Fabiola of Belgium’s gown was majestic, but sober,\u201d says de la Pera. \u201cBalenciaga was fascinated by the simplest pattern making \u2013 in this case a garment of three seams.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":78015,"id":78015,"title":"PAREJA 11_GRND","filename":"PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","filesize":136582,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/balenciaga-spanish-art-history\/pareja-11_grnd\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"pareja-11_grnd","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":78002,"date":"2019-06-27 08:48:30","modified":"2019-06-27 08:48:30","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":836,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":71,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":836,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":836,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":836,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":836,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":836,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":10,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-11_GRND-e1561625323310.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":836}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"L: Francisco de Zurbar\u00e1n, \"Fray Franciasco Z\u00famel\", around 1628, Museo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid\r\nR: Wedding dress, satin and mink, Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga Museoa, Getaria \u00a9 Museo Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga \u00a9 Jon Cazenave"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Beyond the ornamental detail and elaborate silhouettes foregrounded in these Spanish masterpieces, the colours found in these paintings \u2013 and especially those employed by Mannerist painter El Greco \u2013 moved the designer considerably. Balenciaga\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Hubert de Givenchy, who worked closely with the Thyssen-Bornemisza team on the exhibition before his death last year, recalls the couturier telling him, \u201cHow am I not going to be able to use those colours in my collection?\u201d From the canary yellows and cerulean blues found in pieces like El Greco\u2019s <\/span>Anunciaci\u00f3n <\/span><\/i>(c.1600), to the velvety blacks in <\/span>Retrato de un caballero<\/span><\/i> (c.1586), there is an affectionate imitation that can be found throughout Balenciaga\u2019s craftmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack was the colour of Philip II\u2019s court,\u201d explains de la Pera, contrasting the decadent use of the colour by Spanish courtiers to the austere way in which the Dutch wore it. \u201cIt was at that time that a new dye came from Mexico that made every other black look like grey.\u201d Still, the characters of Spanish portraiture such as ballerinas, toreadors and the Duchess of Alba also found their way into Balenciaga\u2019s gowns, modern cocktail dresses and boleros. Despite the many notable women who lived their lives in Balenciaga dresses, de la Pera chose not to include photos or captions under the works in order to focus on the striking relationship between couture and paintings.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":78005,"id":78005,"title":"PAREJA 3_GRND","filename":"PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","filesize":282160,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/balenciaga-spanish-art-history\/pareja-3_grnd\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"pareja-3_grnd","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":78002,"date":"2019-06-27 08:28:45","modified":"2019-06-27 08:28:45","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":882,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":75,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":882,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":882,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":882,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":882,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":882,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PAREJA-3_GRND-e1561625195529.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":882}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"L: \"Anunciaci\u00f3n\", around 1576.

It can be controversial to compare fashion to art \u2014\u00a0and especially today as the fashion industry comes under fire for thoughtless plagiarism and a quick pace that renders designs out of fashion after an Instagram photo \u2014\u00a0<\/span>but <\/span>Balenciaga and Spanish painting<\/span><\/i> makes a good case for seeing the artistry in Balenciaga\u2019s designs, while at the same time exposing the themes of fashion in masterpieces.
