George Barbier. Master illustrator

The book George Barbier - The Birth of Art Deco is a beautiful compilation of the work of George Barbier.

 

A Parisian fashion illustrator and costume designer. Barbier’s work ranges from illustrations for fashion magazines to wallpaper design and costume design. I was introduced to his work by Barbara who curated an exibition of his works in Venice in 2008. His work has grown me with his subtle use of colour and gentle feminine compositions. I particularly like the richness of colour of his interior scenes.
