Beauty continues love affair with modern art
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Prior to the launch of the first solo exhibition in the US dedicated to German artist Otto Dix, opening at New York's Neue Galerie in March, beauty brand Estée Lauder is releasing two limited-edition products inspired by his works.
According to style.com, a lipstick in "Berlin Red" paying tribute to the lipstick-wearing women in Dix's paintings (e.g., Dancer Anita Berber, Reclining Woman on Leopard Skin) and a Bauhaus-inspired compact mirror will go on sale exclusively at the museum shop of the Neue Galerie.
Estée Lauder's son Ronald started the museum together with art dealer Serge Sabarsky, which makes for a simple explanation for the collaboration.
However, it is interesting how beauty brands have increasingly been drawing on the realms of art in order to make their products more appealing: MAC collaborated with some of New York's hippest artists for its last fall collection, Donna Karan introduced a pop-art version of her fragrance Be Delicious, and Lipstick Queen, inspired by the same movement, launched its Fifteen Minutes of Fame Pop Art Glosses.
