(We have two of these available) HOW TO BUY THIS PICTURE - CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS George Barbier (1882 - 1932), one of the geatest exponents of Art Deco graphic imagery, was accomplished and prolific as an illustrator and designer for contemporary fashion, posters, magazine covers, and the theatre. He illustrated costumes for the Folies-Bergeres and Casino de Paris and found a special source of inspiration in the Ballet Russes. Much of Barbier's work was created through the medium of the Pochoir print. In this method a stencil is used, allowing the artist to hand colour the print using watercolour or gouache. The technique was especially poular in the early part of the twentieth century.
