George Barbier (1882 - 1932) was one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century. Born in Nantes, France on October 10, 1882, Barbier was 29 years old when he mounted his first exhibition in 1911 and was subsequently swept to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations.
I am so glad that I am not an illustrator. I can't image doing all those highly detailed
paintings is the huge sizes th illustrators like Barbier, Erte and Much. However, I just had
to try to see where it would take me. This is more my impression of one of Barier's
illustrations. I thought adding all the other elements would make a great wine label painting.
