A stunning Art Deco fashion illustration by George Barbier, 'Le Cadran Solaire' captures the elegance of the 1920s with its stylish figures and vibrant colours. Perfect for adding a touch of vintage glamour to any room.
George Barbier's 'Le Cadran Solaire' (The Sundial) is a quintessential example of Art Deco fashion illustration, capturing the elegance and sophistication of the 1920s. Barbier, a leading figure in the Parisian art scene, was renowned for his exquisite pochoir prints, a labour-intensive technique of hand-stencilling colours that resulted in vibrant and detailed images. This particular piece showcases a stylishly dressed woman in a black and gold ensemble, leaning pensively against a sundial, while a gentleman stands nearby, seemingly lost in thought. The scene is framed by stylised trees with pink foliage, adding a touch of whimsy and theatricality. The composition, with its clean lines and bold colours, is characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic. As a fine art print, 'Le Cadran Solaire' brings a touch of vintage glamour to any interior. Its decorative style and sophisticated colour palette make it a perfect addition to a living room, bedroom, or study, adding a touch of Parisian chic to your home decor. The print's historical significance and artistic merit make it a conversation piece, while its timeless appeal ensures it will remain a stylish addition to your art collection for years to come.

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.
