RENE GRUAU CREATED SOME OF THE MOST INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE & ENDURING FASHION & BEAUTY IMAGES OF THE 20TH CENTURY. TOGETHER WITH HIS GREAT FRIEND CHRISTIAN DIOR, GRUAU CREATED A FRESH IDEAL OF FEMININE BEAUTY, ONE THAT EMBRACED A NEW KIND OF ELEGANCE & SOPHISTICATION. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE 'DIOR ILLUSTRATED' EXHIBITION IN LONDON TODAY, VIEWING GRUAU'S ORIGINAL ARTWORKS, STILL WITH PENCIL LINES BENEATH THE PAINT, WHITE PAINT COVERING WHAT HE SAW AS MISTAKES. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL & ENCHANTING & BEYOND INSPIRING TO BE ABLE TO VIEW THE ORIGINAL ARTWORKS & READ THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND HIS DECADES OF WORK. -SW
