Description
An elegant Art Deco fashion illustration by George Barbier, 'Le Goût des Laques' captures the exoticism and glamour of 1920s Paris. This vintage print adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
George Barbier's 'Le Goût des Laques' (The Taste for Lacquer) is a quintessential example of Art Deco fashion illustration, capturing the elegance and exoticism that defined the era. Created in 1920 using the pochoir technique, a sophisticated form of stencilling, the print showcases two fashionable women amidst a backdrop inspired by Japanese lacquer screens. The scene is rich with detail, from the stylised cranes and blossoming trees to the intricate patterns of the women's gowns and accessories. The colour palette, dominated by blacks, reds, and golds, evokes a sense of luxury and refinement. Barbier was a leading figure in the Parisian art scene, contributing to magazines such as Gazette du Bon Ton. His work reflects the influence of Japonism and the growing fascination with Eastern cultures. 'Le Goût des Laques' not only documents the fashion trends of the time but also serves as a decorative artwork in its own right. As a fine art print, this piece brings a touch of vintage glamour and sophistication to any interior. Its timeless appeal and exquisite craftsmanship make it a perfect addition to a living room, bedroom, or study, adding a touch of Parisian chic to your home.

Artist Biography
George Barbier
George Barbier, a leading light of the Art Deco movement, wasn't just an artist; he was a conjurer of dreams. Born in Nantes, France, in 1882, Barbier initially trained at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, becoming known for his vibrant illustrations, fashion designs, and theatrical costumes. But what set Barbier apart was his ability to capture the zeitgeist of the Roaring Twenties, a period of unprecedented glamour and societal change. He didn't just depict the era; he embodied it.
Barbier's work graced the pages of prestigious magazines like Vogue and Gazette du Bon Ton, setting the standard for elegance and sophistication. His pochoir prints, with their bold colours and intricate details, became highly sought after. Beyond fashion, Barbier designed sets and costumes for the Folies Bergère and illustrated books for authors like Charles Baudelaire, showcasing his versatility and artistic range. He moved effortlessly between commercial and fine art, blurring the lines between the two.
Though his life was cut short in 1932, George Barbier's legacy endures. His images continue to evoke the spirit of Art Deco, reminding us of a time when beauty, luxury, and artistic innovation reigned supreme. Owning a Barbier print is like owning a piece of that bygone era, a daily reminder of the power of art to transport and inspire.
