Le Jour et la Nuit - George Barbier 1920s Art Print

Get drawn into the captivating world of George Barbier's "Le Jour et La Nuit" art print, where day and night dance in a mesmerizing ballet of fashion and symbolism. This hand-colored pochoir from the 1922 "Falbalas & Fanfreluches" almanac beckons you into a realm of Parisian haute couture and allegorical beauty.

As your eyes feast on the Chinese-red background, witness the dramatic transformation unfold. The radiant Day, adorned in a resplendent white gown with a majestic headdress, stands triumphant. Night, cloaked in mystery and adorned with an intricate black ensemble, retreats into the shadows. Barbier's masterful use of contrast and symbolism brings this Cinderella-esque metamorphosis to life, capturing the essence of 1920s high society's penchant for multiple daily wardrobe changes.

Delve deeper into the pochoir's exquisite details – the floral embellishments, the elegant poses, and the interplay of light and shadow.
