If you're wondering why some of the pieces in the Fall 2013 Tim Coppens collection might seem familiar, maybe you've recently been to a modern art museum. Franz Kline was a modernist painter who was part of the abstract expressionist movement in New York in the 1940s and 50s. He was famous for his abstract paintings of black streaks on a white canvas. Several shirts and coats in the Tim Coppens show have a similar pattern of black streaks on white. And we love it when a collection reminds us of one of the great painters of the 20th century.
