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.

About the Artist

George Barbier (1882–1932) was one of the leading French illustrators of the early 20th century. Born in Nantes, he quickly rose to prominence after his first exhibition in 1911, receiving commissions for theater and ballet costume design, book illustration, and haute couture fashion work.

Known as part of "The Knights of the Bracelet," a group lauded for their elegance, Barbier's contemporaries included his cousins Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Pierre Brissaud. Throughout his career, he also explored jewelry, glass, and wallpaper design, while contributing writings to the Gazette du Bon Ton.

Barbier worked on costume design for the Folies Bergère and gained wider recognition with his work in L'Illustration magazine. He passed away in 1932, leaving behind a legacy of sophistication and innovation in art and fashion design.
