A vibrant Art Deco fashion illustration by George Barbier, 'Le Goût des Châles' captures the elegance of the 1920s with its stylish figures and bold colours. A perfect fine art print to add vintage glamour to any room.
George Barbier's 'Le Goût des Châles' (The Taste for Shawls) is a quintessential Art Deco fashion illustration, capturing the elegance and sophistication of the 1920s. Barbier, a leading figure in French illustration, was renowned for his exquisite pochoir prints, a labour-intensive technique that involved hand-stencilling each colour to create vibrant and detailed images. This particular piece, created in 1923, showcases three figures adorned in stylish shawls against a backdrop of classical architecture and a vibrant blue sky. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged to draw the viewer's eye across the scene, highlighting the intricate patterns and colours of the shawls. The scene evokes a sense of luxury and leisure, reflecting the spirit of the Jazz Age. As a fine art print for the home, 'Le Goût des Châles' adds a touch of vintage glamour and artistic flair. Its bold colours and elegant design make it a striking addition to any room, particularly those with a modern or Art Deco aesthetic. The print serves as a reminder of a bygone era of style and sophistication, bringing a sense of timeless beauty to your living space.

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.
