Summary

An art installation by the Three Sisters Workshop at the Red Poles Restaurant and Gallery at McLaren Vale entitled 'Because: reflections on illusion and reality'. It is based on the story of Evette, the washerwoman immortalised in Camille Pisarro's painting. Her customers, many of them artists, began to paint elaborate works on the clothes she laundered in an attempt to win her admiration, and more hopefully, her heart. Another admirer, a marron farmer from Provence, would send her red long feelered crays and, once she had consumed the meat, would use the claws to peg out her washing. The installation features Dali's dress, Picasso's pants, Munch's macintosh, Van Gogh's vest, Jawlensky's jacket, Toulouse Lautrec's T shirt, Dufy's dress, Turner's tie and Soutine's shirt.
