George Barbier: Master of Art Deco

George Barbier (1882-1932) is one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century. He is famous for elegant art deco works that were heavily influenced by orientalism and Parisian couture. Born in Nantes, France in 1882, he skyrocketed to fame and notoriety after his first exhibition in 1911. With critical essays on such topics as colouration and composition, this volume is a complete compendium of Barbier's work in fashion, book illustration, theater art, and editorial design.
