For Porter, clothing is a way in: the wild paint-splatters on Jean-Michel Basquiat's designer clothing, Joseph Beuys's shamanistic felt hat, or the functional workwear that defined Agnes Martin's life of spiritua labor. As Porter roams widely from Georgia O'Keeffe's tailoring to David Hockney's bold color blocking to Sondra Perry's intentional casual wear, he weaves his own perceptive analyses with original interviews and contributions from artists and their families and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart love letter, part guide to chic, with more than 300 images, \u003cem\u003eWhat Artists Wear\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new way of understanding art, combined with a dynamic approach to the clothes we all wear. The result is a radical, gleeful inspiration to see each outfit as a canvas on which to convey an identity or challenge the status quo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePorter, Charlie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eCharlie Porter\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, fashion critic, art curator and visiting lecturer in fashion at the University of Westminster.
