<p>George Barbier (1882-1932), a leading figure in the birth of the Art Deco style, is renowned for his exquisite
illustrations that capture the mood, fashion and atmosphere of the 'Roaring Twenties'. Barbier
created original drawings, or illustrations, that appeared in many of the top fashion publications of his day,
including many created as limited edition journals. These periodicals, each of which was published in the first
quarter of the 20th century, exemplified Art Deco as a new and respected art, fashion and design style.<BR>
<img height="1" width="20" src="dot_clear.gif">Today, Barbier's original and print works are greatly sought after
by informed collectors in America and Europe.
Like his contemporary, Erté, and many of the best known designers and illustrators of the day, Barbier created his
work in a variety of formats including book illustration, fabric design, and costume design for theatrical
productions for stage and screen projects in the newly burgeoning movie business in the United States.
Art historically he worked in an exciting period during which art and design meshed, a time when the design
of women's clothing became an art form in itself. <br>
<img height="1" width="20" src="dot_clear.gif">Among his many accomplishments, Barbier participated in prominent
exhibitions of art in Paris and was recipient
of many prizes for his works. Among these exhibitions, he regularly exhibited his original illustrations at the
prestigious Parisian Salon des Artistes Decorateurs from 1912 until his death in 1932. He was a member of a
very select group of artists creating work for the limited edition publication, La Gazette du Bon Ton, an
exclusive magazine targeting the elite fashion and design world of Paris. This periodical was actually the
precursor of Vogue magazine, and when Vogue purchased printing rights to La Gazette du Bon Ton, the new magazine
was sure to acquire Barbier's contract, as well. Each issue featured illustrated plates by Barbier, which made his
work the hallmark of the illustration style of Vogue in the early part of the 20th century.<br>
