Top of my Head



Dazed & Confused August 2010// Whistler's Mother, James McNeill Whistler, 1871

I kept this picture from Dazed for quite a while because I knew its solemn and monochromatic scheme reminded me of something but I could never remember what it was. Well this somber fashion spread reminded me of an artist's simple tribute to a mother. Having recently seen this painting at the de Young in SF it finally came to me what this picture was reminiscent of. Enjoy.
