Le Jour et la Nuit - George Barbier 1920s Art Framed Canvas
Description
Get lost in the captivating world of George Barbier's Le Jour et La Nuit, a mesmerizing framed canvas that transports you to the glamorous Parisian high society of the 1920s. This hand-colored pochoir print first graced the pages of Barbier's iconic 1922 almanac Falbalas & Fanfreluches.
Witness the enchanting dance between Day and Night, as two exquisitely dressed figures embody the passage of time. The radiant Day, adorned in a voluminous white gown and ornate headdress, stands proudly against a vibrant Chinese-red background. Night, shrouded in mystery, dons an intricately embellished black dress that seems to melt into the shadows.
Barbier's genius shines through in every detail – from the delicate floral motifs framing the scene to the contrasting textures of lace, silk, and feathers. You'll be captivated by the Art Deco elegance and the subtle nod to Cinderella-esque transformation.
This rare piece from Barbier's limited almanac series (1922-1926) offers a tantalizing glimpse into the opulent world of inter-war Paris, where fashion reigned supreme and couture changes marked the rhythm of sophisticated living.
