Fumée - George Barbier 1920s Fashion Art Print

Description
Step into the enigmatic world of 1920s Parisian haute couture with this captivating art print from Gazette du Bon Ton. You'll be entranced by George Barbier's masterful illustration of a sleek evening dress by de Beer, where East meets West in a symphony of Art Deco elegance. The model's elongated silhouette, adorned with a flowing black gown adorned with delicate white floral motifs, exudes sophistication against a backdrop of stylized foliage.
Then there's daring juxtaposition of the vibrant red Japanese-inspired cabinet, its ornate floral designs a striking contrast to the monochromatic ensemble. Notice how the model's auburn coiffure and golden pendant echo the cabinet's warm hues, creating a visual harmony. As she delicately burns a letter, wisps of smoke curl upwards, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this fashionable tableau.
This exquisite pochoir print, Plate 8 from the 1921 edition, captures the zeitgeist of post-war Paris – a blend of international influences, bold geometrics, and timeless chic that defined an era of unprecedented artistic freedom and sartorial innovation.
