Painting Description
"Eventails; Le Gout Des Laques; Chez La Marchande De Pavots; Au Revoir; La Paresse; La Gourmandise; L'orgueil; L' Avarice" are a series of works by the renowned French Art Deco illustrator Georges Barbier. These pieces exemplify Barbier's elegant and sophisticated style, which was highly influential during the early 20th century. Known for his fashion illustrations, costume designs, and book illustrations, Barbier's work often depicted the luxurious and decadent lifestyle of the Parisian elite.
The titles of these works suggest a thematic exploration of tastes, vices, and social scenes. "Eventails" translates to "Fans," indicating a possible focus on the accessory as a symbol of fashion and social status. "Le Gout Des Laques" refers to the taste for lacquer, a popular decorative art form that was highly prized for its glossy finish and intricate designs. "Chez La Marchande De Pavots" suggests a setting at a poppy seller's, which could imply a commentary on opulence or even the opium trade, which was a subject of fascination and controversy during Barbier's time.
"Au Revoir" (Goodbye), "La Paresse" (Laziness), "La Gourmandise" (Gluttony), "L'orgueil" (Pride), and "L' Avarice" (Greed) appear to be a series reflecting on various human behaviors and societal indulgences. These works may portray the leisurely pursuits and moral attitudes of the era's upper classes, possibly critiquing or celebrating the hedonistic tendencies of the time.
Georges Barbier's illustrations were characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate details, and the use of luxurious materials such as gold and silver leaf. His work not only captured the fashion and spirit of the Art Deco period but also contributed to the movement's aesthetic development. The series in question likely showcases Barbier's skill in capturing the essence of the Roaring Twenties, with its emphasis on modernity, style, and the pursuit of pleasure.
As an artist who was closely associated with the fashion world, Barbier's illustrations were often published in leading fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "La Gazette du Bon Ton," making his work accessible to a wide audience and solidifying his position as a key figure in the Art Deco movement. The series of works mentioned would be of significant interest to scholars studying fashion history, Art Deco, and the cultural milieu of post-World War I France.
