Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
George Barbier
George Barbier, a leading light of the Art Deco movement, captured the elegance and spirit of the Roaring Twenties like few others. Born in Nantes, France, in 1882, Barbier initially trained at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, later studying under Jean-Paul Laurens. He quickly established himself as a sought-after illustrator, his sophisticated and often theatrical designs gracing the pages of Vogue, Gazette du Bon Ton, and other high-fashion publications. Barbier's distinctive style blended Japanese influences with classical Greek motifs, resulting in a unique aesthetic that perfectly embodied the era's taste for luxury and modernity. He wasn't just an illustrator; Barbier was a multi-talented artist who designed costumes, stage sets, and even jewellery. His work on productions like 'Scheherazade' at the Folies Bergère cemented his reputation as a visionary artist capable of creating entire worlds of beauty and fantasy. Although his career was tragically cut short by his death in 1932, George Barbier left behind a rich legacy of illustrations and designs that continue to inspire and captivate. His prints offer a glimpse into a glamorous past, a world of flappers, cocktails, and unapologetic joie de vivre. Owning a Barbier print is like owning a piece of the Jazz Age itself.
