Mats Gustafson

Submitted By:Aakriti JainSanya ChhabraPGFD-C

Mats Gustafson (Swedish, b. 1951) began his career as an illustrator in the late 1970s, a time when editorial illustration was eclipsed by photography, and watercolor as a conceptual medium had barely been explored. A graduate of Dramatiska Institutet (University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre) in Stockholm, he first applied his graphic sensibility to the art of stage design. This experience translated into illustration when he began publishing his work in eminent international fashion publications.

ConclusionThus, we can say that Mats Gustafson’s elegant, pared-down aesthetic shows how unencumbered and expressive these forms of graphic practice can be; his exquisite, extraordinary watercolor

and cut-out paper works have extended the possibilities of fashion illustration and nearly

single-handedly reinvigorated the genre.
