In the golden age of post–WWI France, George Barbier was the toast of the Art Deco world—🎭 a master of elegance, fantasy, and theatrical flair. Known for his luxurious fashion plates, rich illustrations, and sophisticated visual narratives, Barbier helped shape the cultural style of the 1910s–1930s.
While his name may have faded from mainstream memory, his art continues to inspire. At Sarasvati Designs, we've reimagined and repainted many of his iconic works using vibrant, modern color palettes—breathing new life into timeless elegance 🖌️.
